  5. Grand Jury • A grand juryis the formal device by which a person can be accused of a serious crime. • It is required for federal courts under the 5th Amendment. • The grand jury deliberates on whether the prosecution’sindictment,a formal complaint, presents enough evidence against the accused to justify a trial. • Only the prosecution presents evidence. • The right to a grand jury is not covered by the 14th Amendment’s Due Process Clause.
