I'm sure there are differences from state to state and jurisdiction to jurisdiction. My point is that the members of a hand jury play a very active role in a case, not the passive role one sees on television before a judge.

How does the way this case was presented to the grand jury differ from your experience as a jurer?
All this information is now available online.
BTW not necessarily looking for a change in the outcome.
