The judge in the "Special Grand Jury" advised jurors that they could talk? [View all]

I heard this on an excerpt of Lawrence's show. If that is true, it is a surprise that more of them have not come forward. The interview by the "forewoman", Emily Kohrs, has created quite a controversy.

Usually, with a "Grand Jury", they are advised not to talk.

However, this was a "special grand jury", with no authority to indict. They were assembled to give "recommendations" to the DA. They were not commanded to remain silent.

If the DA agrees with the recommendations, she will request that a Grand Jury, with the authority to indict, file their charges.

If she decides not to take it to the Grand Jury, then what we have heard from the "Special Grand Jury" is probably all we will get from the Georgia investigation. Very few would expect the investigation to end there.

After two years of investigation, the information from the "forewoman" is the most the public has received since the investigation began, notwithstanding the January 6th Committee. For the general public, it may have seemed like a breath of fresh air.

Soon, we will know who the real Grand Jury is going to indict and the excitement over the "forewoman's" comments will likely subside.

It is imminent.
