I was foreman of a Grand Jury for a year.
You cannot discuss the cases period.
The judges here would have locked me up if I or the 23 others talked to the press or anyone!!!!!
We had sensational cases and no one has stepped forward in ten years to discuss the evidence we saw.
"We had sensational cases and no one has stepped forward in ten years to discuss the evidence we saw."
OK, now you have to tell us!!!!
My Dad was on a grand jury for 18 months once and I thought I remember him telling me, as a child, that he could not discuss it, even after the GJ disbanded. Thanks.

Just another example of how the Democrats are nudging their way into illegal behaviors and getting away with it. Who would have to prosecute this guy, someone inside the county in question or outside of it? Inside is all Dems (Austin) outside is mainly Repubs (Texas at large).
I have served on both federal and county Grand Juries. Most of what you hear is pretty cut and dried.
The DA or Asst. DA describes the crime and then lists what evidence thay have against a suspect. The jury basically decides, Yes or No, There was a crime. And Yes or No, there is strong enough evidence to believe the suspect MIGHT have committed the crime.
Also a grand jury indictment does not need to be unanimus, A simple majority of a quorum is all that is needed to indict. I don't think most people know that.
We had several "no bills" on the jury I served.
