It’s only the US and Liberia who kept the grand jury process from English common law, why did every other country get rid of it? Because secret trials are wrong and the law works fine without them.
- dragonwriter 7y ago> why did every other country get rid of it? Because distrust of government is lower in other common law countries than in the US, and the grand jury process is an outside check on government. > Because secret trials are wrong Grand jury proceedings are not trials, they are a hoop the government has to jump through before getting to file charges, much less reach a trial.
