Dissenting Opinion on Grand Jury Challenge and Selection
The dissent questions the legality of the grand jury that indicted the respondent and criticizes the special term for impeding fair jury selection. Justice Heffernan argues challenges to grand jurors should mirror trial juror challenges and notes defendants were not represented before indictment. He warns that improper grand jury procedures threaten public confidence and liberty, urging legislative remedy rather than judicial intervention. County records show Evan D. and Blanche John settled their action against Alton Harris with representation by John J. Sweeney and Brandon for the defendant.
