THE FAILURE OF A GRAND JUROR TO SERVE FOR THE ENTIRE PERIOD OF
SERVICE DOES NOT INVALIDATE THE GRAND JURY OR ANY OF ITS ACTIONS.
COMMITTEE NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new language derived
from the references to 23 grand jurors and filling of vacancies in Public
Local Laws, Art. 1 [Allegany County], § 53-3 and Public Local Laws, Art.
12 [Garrett County], § 58-4A and revised to apply statewide and to
provide for rules to govern alternate grand jurors.
Subsection (b) of this section is new and added to state expressly that the
failure of an individual grand juror to complete service does not affect the
jury or its actions. See, e.g., State v. McNay, 100 Md. 622 (1905) (excusal
from sworn grand jury does not invalidate indictment).
As to "include", see Art. 1, § 30 of the Code.
8-413. ADDITIONAL GRAND JURIES.
IN ADDITION TO ANY GRAND JURY THAT A JURY PLAN FOR A COUNTY
REQUIRES FOR A SET PERIOD, ON PETITION OF A STATE'S ATTORNEY, THE COUNTY
ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE MAY SUMMONS ONE OR MORE GRAND JURIES.
COMMITTEE NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former CJ § 8-108.
The introductory language of this section, "[i]n addition to any grand jury
that a jury plan ... requires for a set period", is added to clarify the period
for which a grand jury is additional:
The word "county" is substituted for the former phrase "of the circuit court
of a county", to distinguish this administrative judge from the circuit
administrative judge. See Md. Rule 16-101c and d and, as to "county", Art.
1, § 14 of the Code.
Defined term: "Jury plan" § 8-101
8-414. ATTENDEES.

(B) INTERPRETER

GRAND JURY SESSION AS NEEDED TO PROVIDE SERVICES AS AN INTERPRETER.

CITY.
