“Federal Rules of Evidence do not apply; Grand juries are conducted by or for prosecutors only; Neither witnesses nor targets have legal representation; Grand jury targets, even if they make a request, may not get to testify; Jurors can act on tips or rumors. As a result: Grand Juries have no power to prevent prosecutors from using a mere indictment as an excuse to seize property; And once a defendant loses his or her property, he or she may no longer have the resources to mount a defense; This often allows prosecutors to force defendants to make deals. So much for innocent until proven guilty!”
