[QUOTE="DavidMcmillan, post: 3847648, member: 11749"] Way back in 1977, I was called and selected for a Muskogee County Grand Jury. A very interesting and educational experience. At least back then, a grand jury was called for a certain case, but then citizens could bring other issues to the jury and we could accept or reject and investigate other things that we might select. This was during the "great county commissioner" era, and we looked at several complaints about that. We were required to inspect the county jail, and it seems like there were a couple of other things we were required to do. We were assigned an ADA for the duration, and investigators if needed. The ADA was to help with the technical issues. This ADA (democrat) later ran for Governor, and can be seen on a local TV station each Sunday. There was an ex highway commissioner (democrat) who served during the study for relocating highway 69 south of Muskogee. Later after his term was up on the commission, and prior to the purchase of the affected land, he bought up a large amount of the land that would have the highway eventually running through it. We indicted him, but after we adjorned ( we were on this every day for over four months) the ADA decided the wording was wrong and needed to be voided and rewritten. I'm still waiting for that rewrite to happen. [/QUOTE]
