Question 7 • CA-Government Essentials (IS)

What does a grand jury decide?

Answer
A
whether a person is guilty of a crime
B
whether a trial should take place
C
whether a person should be imprisoned
D
whether police should receive a warrant

Explanation

A grand jury considers evidence presented by prosecutors to decide whether there is enough evidence to formally charge someone and proceed to trial. It does not decide whether the person is guilty; that is determined later in a trial. Therefore, the answer is whether a trial should take place.
