Normal grand jury instructions. Nothing to see here! American justice will prevail.

Normal stuff. Just a former president likely getting his third indictment. Normal stuff.

Wow! This is a surprise. I didn't expect anything in the Georgia grand jury to be videoed and broadcast publicly. On the federal level, not even the actual trial is recorded for broadcast -- although I hope that will change for Trump's various federal trials. I know the events that take place in this grand jury won't be broadcast, but I hope the fact this much was broadcast means Trump's actual full trial in Georgia will also be broadcast. I can't wait!

As serving as a trial jury myself, I respect the process of the judicial system. It’s very detailed and thorough process.

For those of us that aren't familiar with this process this is VERY enlightening!

Thanks for showing. Can't wait for their "true bill".

Go Mrs. Willis go!!! Let’s have this criminal in prison!!!!

[Dustandfuzz]

Does this mean the trial will be televised?

[williamgregory]

After the case has been presented, only members of the grand jury can be in the room for deliberations. They discuss the case and vote on whether to return a "true bill" or a "no bill." A "true bill" means the grand jurors have voted to indict because they think there is probable cause to believe that the person accused committed the alleged crimes. A "no bill" means the grand jurors don't believe the person committed the alleged crimes or there isn't enough evidence to indict.

How many potential grand jurors are watching this and how many times does it happen if not all 46 selected grand jurors can fit in the room? I imagine it's the jury box, could be the public gallery.

Wow.... totally different experience then I've had. What a situation to be in if you were talked to by him. Did y'all inspect the prison that day?

The walls are closing in on Delusional Donnie. Should have happened 20 years ago.
