This made me wonder how often. http://www.freedomlaw.com/archives/oldsite/GRANDJRY.html http://www.freedomlaw.com/archives/oldsite/GRANDJRY.html says 0.6% in 1984.
- adestefan 14y agoPart of this is because the federal criminal case load is so heavy that there's no use to even waste money and time taking a case to a grand jury that can't lead to an indictment.
- _delirium 14y agoMinor correction: 0.4% (the article reports a 99.6% indictment rate).
