The joke of the NY Grand Jury Described on DA Bragg's website

dailybuck777 · Apr 16, 2023

Here is how Bragg describes NY Grand Juries: "Each Grand Jury is comprised of 23 citizens who sit for a term of approximately one month. A quorum is required for the Grand Jury to hear evidence and file charges on the case. Grand Jury proceedings are not open to the public. " Note that he does not cite any qualifications to be on the Grand Jury and that they typically sit for a month. (You sure can learn a lot about the law and how to evaluate prosecutorial behavior in one month when you are just pulled off of the street.) https://data.manhattanda.org/

Here are the qualifications to be a Grand Juror described on a legal website: "

18 years of age or older,
A United States citizen,
A resident of the county where summoned to serve, and
Able to understand and communicate in English."

It also notes that they get paid $40 a day. I am sure that greatly contributes to educated people serving and hard, focused work by the Grand Jury. https://pappalardolaw.com/2021/09/g...Able to understand and communicate in English.
