Question

A. decide if the offenders should be tried by a jury.
B. judge on a civil indictment.
C. dicede if the evidence warrants prosecution.
D. judge the merits of the case against the state constitution.

Answer 1

C.........the grand jury has the power to decide if there is enough evidence against the suspects for them to be prosecuted or trailed.

Answer 2

C. Kinda,........the Grand Jury is more or less an prosecuters vehicle to present evidence in order to get a "true bill" in order to go to trial in a criminal matter. The accused is not there, and the "other side" is not heard from ( except extremely rare cases)

The old saying is that a DA can get an indicment against a ham sandwich if he wants one. This is why it should be NEVER assumed that the person that receves a true bill is guilty.

That is for the trial stage to determine.

Answer 3

this is style of the 1st one and the third one. evidence is shown to a Grand Jury so as that they are in a position to make certain if there is adequate evidence to make it lifelike to have self belief that the Defendant committed against the regulation. So i assume, technically conversing, the respond could be the third (*make certain if the evidence warrants prosecution.) Like I mentioned, the Grand Jury comes to a decision if there is adequate evidence to have self belief that they Defendant could have probable commited the crime, and hence make it well worth prosecuting her or him.

Answer 4

Hypothetically, the best answer may be C. A grand jury determines whether there is probable cause to proceed in a criminal case. If they find probable cause, the matter may then be transfered to a petit jury for trial.

Answer 5

C
