Grand Juries:
Are They The Enemy of The People?
By Ron Branson – National J.A.I.L. CIC
Judicial
Accountability Initaiative Law (J.A.I.L.) has received a very excellent comment
regarding Grand Juries which deserves addressing. C. Sulivan – charpes1@..., writes, “I agree
with the overdue need by all the victims of judicial corruption to expose the
corruption, but [using] the Grand Jury is using the very corrupt process to
expose the corruption. Here in Conneticutt, we have no Grand Jury.”
Sulivan
presents a matter that is a concern to most all of us. Most people in this
country think of the Grand Jury as an arm of the prosecution, and therefore a
body of which one needs to beware.
The following
is going to be quite educational to most every American, and will reveal our
general ignorance respecting government. Our Founding Fathers, in creating our
government, feared an all-powerful government, and sought to break up this
power with checks and balances, and even cross-checks. They knew what they were
doing, but over the passage of time We the People, lost the purpose and meaning
of what they had created to prevent exactly what our nation has become.
They created
for us petit juries (small juries) to try cases, and Grand Juries (large
juries) to determine Probable Cause and to indict whom they will. The greatest organized
power on earth is that of the creation of Grand Juries. Grand Juries have more
power of discretion than do governors, legislatures, the president, and even
the U.S. Supreme Court. You naturally are wondering, “How so?” The
Fith Amendment of our Constitution states, “No person shall be held to
answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or
indictment of a grand jury…” The only exception is by the military
during the time of actual war that is declared by Congress. (Interestingly, is
the fact that Congress has never declared war since the Second World War). The powers
and duties of Grand Juries cannot be usurped by any other body of government. Their
discretion is uniquely theirs.
A capital crime
is the death penalty, and infamous crimes are felonies. Probable Cause can be
determined only by a Grand jury in such cases, not by a magistrate or a judge.
Magistrates can determine Probable Cause only in misdemeanor cases. (Another
interesting point is Sulivan’s statement, “Here in
Constitutionally,
there are only two classes of crimes, and they are “High crimes and
misdemeanors.” If it is not a high crime, then it has to be a
misdemeanor. There is no such thing constitutionally as an “infraction.”
Infractions were invented out of the evil minds of certain California
Legislators in 1969, which conspiracy was designed to deprive all its victims
of the Fourth-Amendment due processs of Probable Cause by a magistrate, the
right to the Assistance of Counsel, and the absolute right to a trial by jury. Nothwithstanding,
our Constitution still says in Article III, Section 2, Clause 3, “The
trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.” The
purpose was to create a greater revenue base and cut trial costs for
Most all of the
states thought it was a good idea to deprive everyone of jury trials and so
they followed suit. It amazes me how that a failure to acquire a dog license, or
fastening of a seat belt, or a light bulb going out, is equal to impeachment
proceedings, which is the only constitutional exception to jury trials. So
what, if they can get away wth it. Now you may be saying, “The government
just could not afford to enforce every crime they cited if they had to determine
Probable Cause for every crime and provide jury trials for everyone. Ah! now it
becomes clear what our Founding Fathers had in mind for
We stand and
place our hand over our heart and eloquently sing at the top of our voices The
Star Spangled Banner, and pledge allegiance to the flag, and then say, “God
bless America,” but in reality there can be no United States of America
without a properly-constituted Grand Jury, neither can there be a Constitution
of the United States, nor laws in pursuance thereof without an appropriate
Grand Jury. The Grand Jury is the center of all power in this country. It is
the Chief Cornerstone of our nation.
Finally, let’s
address Sullivan’s concern as to whether the Grand Jury is the enemy of
the People. When we hear the term “Grand Jury,” we natually think
of what we have today as being the Grand Jury; however, the “grand juries”
of today is a different animal from that intended for its creation by our
Founding Fathers. One must understand that our “government” of
today has usurped the government intended by our Founding Fathers, but we still
call it “government.” It is actually the re-enactment of what our
Founding Fathers contended with in 1776, i.e., “He [the King] has combined
with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged
by our laws, giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation.”
It has been appropriately stated, “No
man’s life, liberty, or property is safe so long as the legislature is in
session.” This is what our Founding Fathers meant when they used their
term, “jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution” and “acts of
pretended legislation!” Thomas Jefferson stated “In matters of
power, let no more be heard of the confidence in man, but bind them down from
mischief by the chains of the Constitution.” This responsibility of
holding our legislators to the Constitution was committed by the Founding Fathers
to the judiciary. The question we are faced with today is: Who is to be the
check upon the judiciary who is to be a check upon the legislators?
Today, “grand
juries” are hand-picked by the judges, advised by prosecutors, and
forbidden by the “legislature” from investigating judges, in favour
of biased judicial commissions who are committed to cover for their brethern no
matter what, unless it be to save face for the system. These commissions never prosecute
judicial wrongs, rather they prosecute embarrassment. The secret message is, go
ahead and do all the evil you wish, just don’t get caught with your pants
down.
In 1960 the
These
so-called “grand juries” of today are the most dispised operation
one can imagine within our so-called “government.” The foreign

Here in
Consider this:
The purpose of the Grand Jury is to be a shield and a sword. A shield to protect
the People from arbitrary prosecution, yet we now have the prosecutor advising and
feeding our watchdog of the prosecution. The Grand Jury has the widest latitude
of discretion of indictment of anyone in government, including judges, yet we have
the judges hand-picking the “grand jurors” and passing “pretended
legislation” that they cannot investigate judges. What’s wrong here?
We have all heard the statement that the affinity between
prosecutors and “grand jurors” is so strong that any prosecutor can
get an indict of a ham sandwich. Well, with this in mind, J.A.I.L. has received
reports of rubber-stamped indictments of non-existant Grand Juries. The process
is alleged to work like this. The prosecutor types up the indictment his wishes
to acquire from the “gand jury.” He then pulls out his desk drawer and
grabs a rubber stamp with the name of the foreman of the “grand
jury” on it, and he then stamps his self-prepared indictment with the
signature of the “grand jury” foreman. We concede the following report
needs to be vendicated but here is the reposrt J.A.I.L. has received.
“All calls for Grand Jury logs and transcripts
to the clerk's office in these 6 cases were met with statements that the U.S. Attorneys
are holding the records. In one case in
Grand Jury even convened on the day that the indictment
was handed down. In other words, no Grand Jury existed. …. A
former prosecutor confirmed that the U.S. Attorneys' office has a rubber stamp
with the signature of the Grand Jury foreman in its office, which is often used
on superseding indictments in lieu of
actually reconvening a Grand Jury. That action
would constitute fraud on its face, fraud from the inducement, and require not
only that the case be overturned but that the prosecutors involved in this
corruption be prosecuted and disbarred. ….
Checks in the 7th Circuit show that over 99
percent of all Grand Jury proceedings result in an indictment, a number so high
it is unbelievable. …. A check of over 100 different docket sheets …
shows only one Grand Jury concurrence form listed,
i.e., less than 1 % of all cases can prove that a Grand
Jury actually met… “
I have said, the
