The Fourth Branch of Government - The Grand Jury

We have always been taught there are three branches to our government: Executive, Legislative and Judicial. However, there is a fourth (or, if you want to consider we the people, the fifth) branch of government known as the Grand Jury.

The Grand Jury is designed to stand independent, with direct citizen access. In today's world however that independence and access are all but gone. In the 30 minute video clip below, you'll hear Bob Zick and Nancy Lazaryan discuss this issue in a very effective overview at last weekend's National Conference on Media Reform held in Minneapolis, MN.
