an interesting procedure
A '''citizen-petitioned grand jury''' is an unusual mechanism that bypasses [[prosecutor]]s and authorizes citizens, by way of petition, to convene a [[grand jury]] to investigate charges and decide whether to indict someone for a crime.

Citizens in [[Kansas]] have used this procedure to consider charges against [[abortion]]ists and [[pornography|pornographers]]. A total of six states provide for a '''citizen-petitioned grand jury''':<ref>http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8U7R3300&show_article=1</ref>
