In a meeting in his chambers, Judge Robert McBurney thanked the Fulton County special grand jury panel for their service and advised them on 'the rules of the road.'

Judge Robert McBurney thanked the Fulton County special grand jury panel for their service and advised them on “the rules of the road,” instructing them what they could and couldn’t say to the public about what they had been doing for the past seven months. But McBurney was more lenient in his guidance about talking to the press than the far stricter rules for federal grand juries or regular Georgia state grand juries. Unlike the Fulton County special grand jury, those have the power not just to make recommendations, but to issue actual indictments. As McBurney interpreted Georgia law and state precedent, the special grand jury was a different animal — an investigative body with subpoena power but no power to indict.
“The lens now provided by this foreperson into the lack of seriousness and respect for this process that existed behind the grand jury walls is truly shocking to the legal conscience,” Findling and two of his co-counsels, Marissa Goldberg and Jennifer Little, said in a statement he shared with Yahoo News.
