Karen Read Grand Juror Charged with leaking information?

I was on a federal grand jury for more than 18 months. We only met once a month and each time we met, we would hear several different cases and make a ruling on them. It was a very interesting experience and I would definitely do it again especially now that I’m retired. You are absolutely right. They tell the Jury several times you can never talk about the proceedings of these hearings and they said be careful if we’re out for lunch because there are people around and they could hear even if we were discussing it between the Grand jurors

❤ Hearing "THE FBI" always makes me smile when I hear it!😊

2:07 I second the motion for that JLaw clip of “what do you mean??” (From hot wings, right??) 🙋🏻‍♀️ Epiccccc

As a Canadian 🇨🇦, I find the grand jury process interesting, as our legal system does not include grand jury proceedings. In Canada, the crown and police decide if a case should proceed, based on the evidence. Another interesting difference is that if I sit on a criminal jury, I am never allowed to speak to say the media about my experience. It is never allowed as a choice as it is in the US trials I have watched. Agree or not, it is a fairly large difference between the systems.

Didn't the juror know, much like fight club, the first rule of the grand jury is you don't talk about the grand jury?

Paging Dr. B! Paging Dr. B!

I was on a federal grand jury. We convened one week a month for a year. We wanted to see a few cases through, so we voted to continue convening for another six months. It was great!

I cannot keep forever secrets. I can keep secrets until a case is over but I'd be bursting to share with friends as soon as I was allowed. I hope if I ever get called for a grand jury that the judge would understand and allow me off the jury due to my inability to keep indefinite/forever secrets.

I served on a federal grand jury for over 18 months. We met just once a month, but each time we’d hear multiple cases and make decisions. It was a fascinating experience, and now that I’m retired, I’d absolutely do it again. You’re right — they emphasized many times that we could never talk about the proceedings, even casually. We were warned to be careful at lunch, because you never know who might be listening, even if you're only speaking with fellow jurors.
