>Umm, no. If there have been secret accusations and secret courts and secret trials against someone for almost a decade No. There have been 0 secret "courts", unless you're intentionally trying to stretch the term "court" to mean something it doesn't. There have been standard grand jury proceedings. Technically speaking, there have also been 0 "secret" accusations, because an official accusation is an indictment, which is public, and made after the grand jury. Standard grant jury proceedings are done in secret, yes. That an accusation is made in secret is fine. If the government "secretly accuses" me of some crime, and then there's a grand jury that convenes, and they find that nothing happened, then that's the end of the discussion. If the grand jury agrees, then, and only then, is the government able to make a public accusation and do important things like go to trial. What you're asking for is the ability for the government to publicly defame anyone based on no evidence. "Secret" grand juries prevent that.
