The ninth circuit court of appeals hands down United states v. Samango, pointing out the level to which the grand jury system has deteriorated from being the watchdog of municipal government, to being the tool of the county prosecutor: “The government has repeatedly engaged in such conduct in this case. In some cases, even unintentional misconduct by a prosecutor can improperly influence the grand jury, and can be grounds for the dismissal of an indictment.”
