What will be an ideal response?
Grand juries are impaneled every year in every county to investigate the conduct of city and county government and their agencies. Each grand jury contains 19 citizens (except for the 23-member L.A. grand jury). Grand jurors research claims of improper or wasteful practices, issue reports, recommend improvements to local programs, and sometimes indict political figures for misconduct, meaning they uncover sufficient evidence to warrant a trial.
