<p begin="00:00:00.25" end="00:00:05.30">This is your legal minute, brought to you by the Ohio State Bar Foundation.</p>
<p begin="00:00:05.80" end="00:00:09.30">Someday, you may be selected to be a member of a grand jury.</p>
<p begin="00:00:09.40" end="00:00:14.40">You would be picked by the same manner that all jurors are selected in this county.</p>
<p begin="00:00:14.50" end="00:00:18.50">If you are a member, the common pleas judge will swear you in,</p>
<p begin="00:00:18.60" end="00:00:24.20">and you will promise to abide by the law and fulfill your duties to the best of your ability.</p>
<p begin="00:00:24.30" end="00:00:30.70">Then your work really begins. You will be part of a group that will secretly hear evidence presented</p>
<p begin="00:00:30.80" end="00:00:38.40">to you by the State for you to determine whether a felony crime has been committed and who in your mind committed it.</p>
<p begin="00:00:38.50" end="00:00:47.60">Grand juries are secret proceedings, and you are sworn not to tell anyone what evidence or what witnesses were presented to you.</p>
<p begin="00:00:47.70" end="00:00:53.10">Since the grand jury is often used to investigate crimes of people not yet charged,</p>
<p begin="00:00:53.20" end="00:00:57.80">the secrecy is vital to the proper functioning of the grand jury.</p>
<p begin="00:00:57.90" end="00:01:03.00">This legal minute is brought to you by the Ohio State Bar Foundation.</p>
