Grand jurors meet and decide in secrecy. Can anyone tell me the basis in VA
law for this secrecy and what penalties can befall jurors who encounter
unmistakable malfeasance in a Grand Jury session? Can knowledge of
malfeasance defeat the secrecy regulation? I have found it interesting that
there are no records of Grand Jury sessions in Cville.
Many thanks,
Henry Wiencek
