Law professors defend grand jury action over deputies
Nineteen University of California law professors condemn Alameda County Supervisors for challenging a federal indictment of twelve deputy sheriffs linked to the May 1969 Peoples Park riots. They stress a grand jury’s function is to assess evidence for trial, not determine guilt, and caution against undermining respect for law and order across public officials and law enforcement.
