Septicemia is a serious bloodstream infection. Itâs also known as bacteremia, or blood poisoning. Septicemia occurs when a bacterial infection elsewhere in the body, such as in the lungs or skin, enters the bloodstream. This is dangerous because the bacteria and their toxins can be carried through the bloodstream to your entire body.
Grand juries make the initial decision to indict--formally accuse--a criminal defendant and require him or her to stand trial. Grand jury indictments are required for all federal felonies. About half the states have some sort of grand jury hurdle too. Grand jurors are ordinary citizens who listen to the prosecutor questioning witnesses.
Grand juries usually consist of 12-23 members whereas trial juries usually seat 6-12. Let's back up a bit and talk about how you get called to a grand jury: Per the US Supreme Court, grand juries must represent a fair cross-section of the community. In order to get this, state and federal grand juries use voter registration, tax records, driver's license records, and sometimes other information to put as many citizens in the potential jury pool as possible.
