(fwd) Cc: Dale Robertson <habeascorpus@hotmail.com> If the state grand jury there was assembled from voter registration lists, and if the voter registration form requires the registrant to certify, under penalty of perjury, that s/he is a federal citizen, then the law which convenes grand juries in that state is unconstitutional. This would form the legal basis for a Habeas Corpus petition, to a court of competent jurisdiction. For background on this issue, read "Juries in Check around the Nation" in the Supreme Law Library at the URL below my name. /s/ Paul Mitchell http://www.supremelaw.com At 02:43 AM 6/21/97 -0400, you wrote: >>From News of the Weird 484: > >INEXPLICABLE > >* The New York Times reported in December that Odell Sheppard, >a "middle-aged handyman," had just passed his ninth consecutive >year of incarceration in Cook County Jail in Chicago, even though he >has not been charged with a crime.
