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.
A federal grand jury consists of from 16 to 23 members. See Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(a). State grand jury size varies according to each state. They range from 1 to 3 jurors in Connecticut to a mandatory 23 in New Jersey and several other states. See the Related Link for information related to grand juries of all the states. The number may vary according to the jurisdiction being referred to.
