Question: We need to fix the grand jury system in house; need to examine what it means to be a grand juror

DA Anderson: The DA's office take charges; police has to get approval from us. Then the person goes in front of a magistrate to determine probably cause to continue with the case. It then goes to court if there is.

Every felony in Texas has to go to a grand jury. They listen to facts of the case to determine if the case can continue. It sounds like I have to go and look at the training the grand jury gets. They get a day of training.

If you ever feel you are not getting treated right or if you're lost, you can contact the judge. The judge can explain. The prosecutor also is supposed to explain the law to you.
