“A Grand Jury typically hears felony cases, a felony case such as a homicide case, or a white collar crime case, mortgage fraud, those are the types of cases that are typically heard by a Grand Jury. In the state of Colorado, the state can actually hand out a felony information or a complaint and you don’t have to be indicted by a Grand Jury. However, in Federal court you have a right to a Grand Jury indictment so the Federal Prosecutors will present cases to, present all their cases to a Grand Jury and obtain indictments that way.”
