Federal Criminal Defense Attorney, David J. Joffe has personally handled over 500 Federal cases. Call today for a confidential consultation.
Alleged federal criminals do not immediately proceed to a
criminal trial in the United States. Instead, their case is investigated by a
federal grand jury, which looks at evidence and calls witnesses before indicting
the suspect or dropping the case altogether. The U.S. Attorney General presents
a case and the jury decides by majority vote whether it should proceed to court
after investigating the evidence.
A federal grand jury is comprised of citizens who are selected through voter and
driver registration lists; they can serve to a maximum of 36 months depending on
the nature of the grand jury. The grand jury procedure is different from a
normal criminal proceeding; there is no judge and there are no attorneys other
than the prosecuting attorney. Witnesses may be represented by their own
attorney, but the attorney is not allowed in the grand jury room. He or she must
wait outside while their client testifies. Witnesses may, however, step outside
to ask their attorney a question. Grand juries can subpoena records and/or call
witnesses and grand jury deliberations are conducted in secret.
If you or your case have been called before a grand jury, it is essential that
you obtain legal counsel experienced in federal grand jury cases. It is not
uncommon for witnesses to be indicted themselves. If you are the subject of a
grand jury investigation, it is possible that you will face a federal criminal
trial with potentially extreme consequences.
