Episode description
What are grand juries? Who gets picked for one? What does an indictment mean? What's next? Why does it seem like this process is taking so long??
Today we explain all the legal processes surrounding the recent indictment of former president Donald Trump, as well as what the Constitution has to say about all of this.
With us is Albert "Buzz" Scherr, professor of Criminal Law and Justice at UNH Law.
