It should not be criminal to lie to a grand jury?

So far as I'm concerned, being ON a grand jury is a criminal act.

No. If you refuse to talk to them they can throw you in prison, even though you have not been convicted or charged with any crime. Its a pretty one sided system and turns due process on its head. There is none..

You cannot have your lawyer present. What they do is ask you the same question 5000 different times and ways and if you change one word in the answer they charge you with perjury

I would never talk to a grand jury. They can always turn anything you say into perjury. I would just do the time for contempt

I don't think the feds should be involved in what goes on in baseball.
