Kansas Grand Juries Scant Across State History
Kansas has summoned few grand juries across 105 counties with Lyon, Saline, and Reno among the counties never or rarely using the system. Only Atchison and Cowley reported active juries this year, with past cases yielding minor indictments or dismissals. Supreme court commentary notes juries mainly used when public opinion demands action or prosecutors are slow.
