The standard by which the grand jury determined whether to issue an indictment is:
Peter Pleuresy is a professional athlete. He commits a gun crime in New York City and then flees to Georgia. He is arrested there by local authorities on an unrelated drunk and disorderly charge. Georgia authorities realize he is wanted in New York and arrange to transport him there after he spends one night in a local jail for the drunk and disorderly matter. Shortly after his arrival in New York City, Peter sits before a grand jury. At the grand jury proceeding, prosecutors introduce evidence seized from Peter’s home before police acquired a warrant. Prosecutors admit that this evidence was taken in violation of the 4th Amendment, but use it anyway. The 23 jurors on the grand jury vote unanimously to indict. a. reasonable suspicion b. probable cause c. beyond a reasonable doubt d. preponderance of the evidence
