The County Attorney's office decides which cases to bring before the Gand Jury. All of them are investigatory given that we could ask questions of witnesses. The one solely investigative case brought a witness before us who wound up (as hoped) giving crucial information that hadn't come out in their police statements.

Note: This is not a trial. It is a process of getting information on record to proceed to trial. The ACA and 23 jurors question witnesses. No defense attorney is present. The accused are present only if they testify. The jury then deliberates and decides whether to indict.

We can talk about this more sometime.
