She asked the Durham attorney about these grand jury notes.
The Durham Attorney says that in NC, NOTES ARE NEVER KEPT OF GRAND JURY PROCEEDINGS.
This statement totally stumped Greta and cause major chagrin and howls of laughter from all the attorneys on her program....with Ted saying this is totally scary - and with Greta saying - how can that be? when the Grand Jury process is to be used to supervise the legal process so to speak.
They all just laughed and laughed - I said NC was becoming a joke.
HERE IS SOMETHING FOR OUR USELESS NC LEGISLATURE TO FIX - Make it a requirement that NOTES be kept of Grand Jury proceedings - otherwise anybody can do anything in these proceedings.
The Durham Attorney finally said - most in legal field in NC don't put much stock in grand jury proceedings - and see them only as a way to move a case from a local court into a higher court.

This entire segment summed up the NC Criminal Justice System. People here are indicted for nothing, and spend years trying to clear their names. I have seen it personally with someone wrongfully accused. It took her over 5 years to make it go away, after spending thousands of dollars fighting it.
The North Carolina State Legislature and Governor should be ashamed of themselves for not passing laws to prevent this.
