Response: That depends on what
jurisdiction you're in. I believe citizens in some states (California, perhaps?) can call for
the empanelment of a grand jury by signing a petition, but I don't know which states
allow this. I suggest you call the clerk of your local court of general
jurisdiction (e.g., common pleas
court, circuit court, district court--the basic county
trial court) and ask if this can
be
done in your state. If it can, you might ask how
many signatures are required, etc. As an alternative you could call the local
prosecutor's office and ask them. |
