Question: What is a grand jury?

Contact a Iowa juvenile criminal defense (misdemeanor, probation, parole, possession, CINA) lawyer representing clients in Knoxville, Iowa today to schedule your initial consultation.


Answer: In some cases and jurisdictions, the prosecutor is entitled to call a grand jury to gather information about a criminal case. The grand jury listens to testimony and examines evidence. During these proceedings, the prosecutor coordinates the testimony and introduction of evidence, and provides legal advice. The grand jury then decides whether there is enough information to put a defendant on trial.
