Does the Grand Jury see any of the exculpatory evidence? Or is a Grand Jury completely one-sided in favor of the prosecutor? Leave the facts up to the trial itself, if they can get the indictment?

Sorry, I asked my resident attorney about the obligation(s) of a Grand Jury prosecutor AFTER my last post. Apparently they are obliged to reveal exculpatory evidence. If it’s later learned that they didn’t present that evidence to the GJ, they can have any conviction overturned.

All they have to do to get an indictment is to change the law so that it’s illegal to protect oneself from imminent danger or a serious threat it the perpetrator is black and the victim is white.../s

Only if you have a darn good, and sneaky lawyer that knows the convening judge. And even then, it's not a fair deal.

I prefer to get my lawyers from 1-800-DIAL-A-BASTARD (fake number, in case I had to say it).

It's where the cops get theirs.
