10.3 Critical Thinking
Do grand juries violate the Constitutional rights of witnesses and defendants? Does the prosecutor have
too much power in advising the grand jury?
I feel that grand juries do violate the Constitutional rights of defendants mostly importantly because
they arent receiving their rights to a due process. They also have no rights to proclaim their innocence
or present their version of the facts. The prosecution absolutely has too much power, because he can
indict anyone, for any reason, at any time. The prosecution gets what they want 99.9% of the time.
