Nevada Grand Jury
In Nevada, a grand jury is a special proceeding convened at the outset of a criminal case to decide whether the state has enough evidence to prosecute (indict) a suspect for a particular crime or crime.
Most state law criminal cases do not involve grand jury indictments. Prosecutors themselves generally decide as to whether they have probable cause to initiate criminal charges. But for very serious or high-profile felony allegations, the district attorney may prefer to let a jury of peers determine if suspects should face charges.
What is the difference between a grand jury and a trial jury?
The purpose of a grand jury is to determine whether the state has sufficient evidence to press criminal charges.1 So grand juries come into play at the beginning of a case, and they decide whether a case will go forward.
In contrast, the purpose of a trial jury (also called a “petit jury” or just plain “jury”) is to determine whether the state has proven a defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. So trial juries come in only if the defendant goes to trial, and they decide how the case will end.
Another difference between grand juries and petit juries is that grand jury proceedings are secret, and defense counsel cannot attend. Meanwhile, jury trials are open to the public, and defense counsel must be allowed to participate and present evidence.
What is the point of the state using grand juries?
Theoretically, grand juries serve as a “check” on the district attorney (or the U.S. Attorney in federal cases) by preventing the state from pressing charges when insufficient evidence exists. In practice, however, grand juries nearly always agree with the prosecutors.
Currently, the majority of states do not ever use grand juries to file state criminal charges. But grand jury indictments are required to charge someone with serious federal crimes.
