Announcing: Political Activists & Grand Juries

2025年11月21日

Flowchart titled 'SUBPOENA' showing the grand jury subpoena process. The flow begins with receiving a subpoena, with options to request additional time, contact counsel, or file motions. The path leads to an appearance date, then either 'NO SHOW' (which leads to 'YOU MAY BE ARRESTED') or proceeding to the grand jury room. A vertical bar on the left indicates 'NO IMMUNITY OFFERED' throughout most of the process. From the grand jury room, the flow shows 'INVOKE 5TH' (with asterisk) as an option, leading to being brought before a judge. At this point, judicial immunity may be offered, and the process continues to another 'INVOKE 5TH' decision point. This can lead to either being jailed for civil contempt (may be held until grand jury expires) or, after release, to bail, other motions, and appeals. Alternative paths from the top include 'AGREE TO TESTIFY' (in pink) and prosecutor/letter immunity options. The flowchart ends with 'FREE TO GO!' (with double asterisk). Two footnotes explain: asterisk indicates to consider asserting other applicable rights and privileges when invoking the Fifth; double asterisk notes release from refusal to confer immunity may indicate being a potential prosecution target. Bottom disclaimer states this is not legal advice and to speak with an attorney. Civil Liberties Defense Center logo appears in bottom right corner.什么是陪审团？* 基础知识。.

*本指南适用于联邦大陪审团。一些州也使用大陪审团制度，其运作方式类似，但规则和程序可能有所不同。.

大陪审团是调查机构，最初旨在通过让一群随机选出的公民调查犯罪，并确定是否有足够的“合理理由”起诉（“告发”）某人犯有重罪，来保护公众免受不负责任的、滥用权力的检察官的侵害。.

然而，由于其保密性以及赋予政府强制或胁迫证词的权力，它们已被用作打压政治抵抗运动的工具，即所谓的“猎巫行动”。”
