Grand Juries and Private Prosecutions

This guy or some other youtuber might do a split screen with George:

What is a grand jury? This video discusses the role of a grand jury in determining whether a suspect should be charged with a crime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tntP2QwIyY http://uslawessentials.com/federal-grand-jury-investigation/ [I couldn't get his email to work nor his message board - someone else might have better luck - or comment on his youtubes - there are other youtubers who deal with the Grand Jury]

Maryland

Maryland allows private citizens to file affidavits against another citizen.[27]

Virginia

The use of a private prosecutor was incorporated into the common law of Virginia and is still permitted there.[14]

Right to a grand jury (the fourth branch of government) http://www.firstfreedom.net/2.htm

“Presentment is not included as an additional type of formal accusation, since presentments as a method of instituting prosecutions are obsolete, at least as concerns the Federal courts.”

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2013/10/the_outrageous_effort_in_kansas_to_use_a_citizen_grand_jury_to_indict_a.html

Kansas is one of six states that permit citizens to empanel grand juries.

In New Mexico, a citizen grand jury was proposed to remove a judge for fixing tickets for his family and friends (instead, the state high court removed him from office within the month).

Let's Revive Private Criminal Prosecutions http://www.constitution.org/uslaw/privpros.htm

We are all frustrated by corrupt legislators, executives, judges, and sheriffs, but we should give some attention to corrupt prosecutors. They are the ones who refuse to take a meritorious case to a grand jury or to prosecute it because it goes against powerful interests or involves fellow officials.

There is an alternative we can use which we inherit from British law: the private prosecution.

Private prosecution is not an established practice in the United States, but a review of state and federal statutes finds no exclusion of it, either. If we find the job not being done by public prosecutors, then citizens have the right and the duty to initiate private prosecutions, and there is a vast agenda for this revived practice.

There is no real possibility of government officials controlling the abuses of other officials over the long term. That might work for a few shining moments, but it is not sustainable, and once entrenched, corruption can be almost impossible to overcome. The only way to hold officials accountable is to allow private parties from outside the system to effectively intervene, and if the result becomes a tad anarchic, that is not too high a price to pay for accountability.

"If anybody in the state of New Jersey is currently sitting on a grand jury, I implore you: Summon me before you," urged Brennan. "I will come before you with the transcripts and the evidence and you can get an indictment. Any grand jury, without prodding from the prosecutor, can call witnesses and demand evidence and demand this case be prosecuted...without the prosecutor's help."

https://nccriminallaw.sog.unc.edu/private-citizens-initiating-criminal-charges/ [North Carolina]

The arrest warrant statute, G.S. 15A-304, requires only that a magistrate be “supplied with sufficient information, supported by oath or affirmation” to find probable cause. The statute doesn’t limit the source of that information to law enforcement officers.

The general rule in the United States is that private citizens can’t initiate criminal prosecutions. There turn out to be quite a few exceptions, but the general rule does seem to be that only government officials of various kinds can initiate criminal prosecutions.

Maryland: a private citizen may apply to a “commissioner,” similar to a North Carolina magistrate, who may issue a summons or, under limited circumstances, an arrest warrant. Md. Stat. § 2-607(c)(6) . Virginia: private citizen complaints are permitted but must be made in writing. Va. Stat. § 19.2-72.

https://www.oas.org/juridico/mla/en/usa/en_usa-int-desc-guide.html

The prosecution of federal criminal cases in each of the U.S. District Courts is the responsibility of the U.S. Attorney for that District. Each U.S. Attorney is appointed by the President and reports to the Attorney General.

The immigration angle caught my eye.

@Enigmatic_Continuum Interesting that they're involved with immigration, but where is the evidence that LJ works for them? I apologize if I missed this info. Also, what do the initials LJ stand for?

cantsleepawink [S] Not just immigration. Cybersecurity and tracking too. I think they also work with Palantir but I can't find a definitive link..yet.

Did I mention Palantir?

Here's a couple of related links I did earlier:
