As the proverb says, the major jury accuses pork sandwich. But in a few judicial states chosen in recent months, this has proven wrong.
In federal criminal cases, public prosecutors must secure an indictment from a major jury before officially imposed a person. But the operation is unilateral-only the public prosecutor can provide evidence and contact with witnesses during secret procedures, and the public prosecutor can summon many major jury bodies in the same case during a 30-day period of 30 days-so that the major jury does not hear it almost accusing it.
However, in two cities where the Trump administration to enforce the heavy federal law and the military presence, saying it wanted to take strict measures on violent crime and immigration crimes, the general prosecutors failed to secure a large number of accusations of the major jury.
Why did we write this
Prosecutors usually have little difficulty in securing accusation regulations from major federal jury bodies. In Washington and Los Angeles, President Donald Trump climbed federal forces and agents, jury bodies have released a series of rare rejection and highlighting the role of the citizen in the American judicial system.
Many warnings. The procedures of the major jury are secret, so it is not known why some cases have led to the absence of a field (rejecting the accusation). The two cities, Washington and Los Angeles are the strongholds of democracy, as the majority of the Gathering of the Trump Anti -Trump’s jury. This trend remains secondary: the documentary rejection of guidance to the two cities is still in individual numbers. But even one is not a very rare field.
In the fiscal year 2010, the major federal jury bodies refused to issue indictment regulations in only 11 cases, according to Justice Statistics Office. For two cities to coincide with this number almost in months, it is worth noting, a reminder that the citizens themselves are major players in the US justice system.
“It seems to me that the great jury has their voice,” says Lori Livinson, a former federal prosecutor and professor at Liula Faculty of Law in Los Angeles.
“The goal of the Great Presses in our democratic process is to make members of society make a [charging] “It seems that the decision is what is happening here, although in the past we have not seen much,” she added.
The nation’s capital is the place where the trend was more clear. Last month, Federal Public Prosecutors failed at least five times to secure the accusation of the major arbitration committee, according to court records. In Los Angeles, many criminal charges related to anti -migrant protests were rejected in June to misdemeanor. The public prosecutors in those judicial states pushed back against suggestions that they are doing their work incorrectly, and instead, they settled accusations in the major jury bodies themselves.
“The system here is broken at many levels. This is the essence of the Mesian jury,” Janein Peru, the American lawyer for the Colombia Province, said in a statement.
In one case, the government – and failed – tried three times to secure the accusation of the major jury. Sydney Lori Reed was accused of assaulting a federal officer in July during a protest outside the migrant detention center. Last week, after it reached the time period for 30 days that the Grand jury needs to be accused, the government Reduce the shipment To misdemeanor.
Since the procedures of the major jury are especially known, no one knows the reason for the reason for this small height in the tanks. But experts believe that it is not a coincidence that an increase in the cities in which the Trump administration has chosen increased federal law and military personnel.
“The torrent of somewhat prominent denial in those areas,” says Josh Blackman, a professor at the Law College of South Texas in Houston, in an email.
“The big jury can be carefully harmonious with the line between crimes and misdemeanors,” he added. “I am skeptical about it.”
The letter of law can be a worker, however. In other words, the accusation regulations in the head of the major jury can fail because jury do not believe that the government has sufficient evidence to support its interest.
In Washington, Mrs. Peru has It is said I told the prosecutors to increase the charges they filed in their cases. Similar guidance for him It is said It was issued to Federal Public Prosecutors in Los Angeles. (Los Angeles’s major jury bodies have restored some of the indictment in recent weeks, often in cases of people attacking federal agents with weapons.)
Or maybe both players. The capabilities of overcoming public prosecutors, as well as heavy law enforcement throughout the city, can explain the reason for the adult jury skeptical about the government’s arguments in these cases.
Take the most famous example. After he became a celebrity on the Internet after the subway wasacked at the border patrol officer last month, Sean Den was arrested and charged with assaulting a federal employee. Two weeks later, a major jury returned to a field.
People know that if some ordinary citizens, not the representative of the government, are that [he] “He threw a sandwich in, he will not look at the prosecution of a felony.”
He adds: “In some ways, the Great Persons is a conscience of their society.” “I think it is not surprising that we see it now.”
