Seems like the one thing I would want to do then is see those transcripts. Also the idea that you can just hide those things when they involve law is just outrageous, I would think they could only be sealed for a few years at max then it all needs to be public record.
You probably wouldn't want employers being able to search grand jury records if you were ever indicated or if somebody just tried to indict you.
well if they are searching and there is no conviction then I would assume they wouldnt take those transcripts with any weight, and I would assume they would have the indictment if there was one for it. And if you were indited it would show I would guess on most background checks.
A few years? That’s a lifetime in our modern world
You are not wrong, if its not a daily barrage like some people have normalized then everyone forgets. Its amazing how many people couldnt tell you issues from last week.
Looking forward to see how Kat Abu continues with politics. Big fan.
So disappointed she didn't win.
Yeah, I hope she winds up in power in the future
And the judge won't hold them accountable, guaranteed.
The public officials will never even be threatened with retribution.
