Connections: Do We Need To Reform The Grand Jury System?

Does the grand jury system need to be reformed? In the wake of the Garner and Brown cases, advocates say yes. Defenders say it has a strong foundation in justice and history. A forum on Monday Night sponsored by the League of Women Voters aims to educate the public about the history, the intent, and proposed changes to the grand jury system. We have the panelists with us in studio:

  • Sandra Doorley, Monroe County District Attorney
  • Roger Brazill, First Assistant Public Defender
  • Rev. Lawrence Hargrave, Asbury First United Methodist Church
