Judge Hart Declines Grand Jury This Year
Judge Hart announces no grand jury will be convened this year, arguing the constitutional amendment authorizing prosecutions by information makes grand juries obsolete. He cites Attorney General guidance and a prior case in Yerington where he moved to information rather than indictment, a decision later upheld by the Supreme Court. This stance aims to reduce county running costs and aligns with economical administration.
