What is the purpose of a grand jury?
What will be an ideal response?
A grand jury comprises citizens who listen to the case presented by a prosecutor and decide whether there exists sufficient evidence to put the defendant on trial. The grand jury is intended to prevent the government from prosecuting people without some proof of guilt. Thus, the grand jury is meant to serve as a barrier between the citizen and an overzealous prosecutor. It is meant to ensure the government does not prosecute individuals without some proof of guilt.
