The Grand Jury is where people testify, and evidence is brought in for an indictment, and to see if it is credible.
A grand jury was a type of jury convened to consider evidence against a person and deliver an indictment when this was deemed sufficient for formal charges. Grand juries existed on Earth as early 1953, when a newspaper headline read "Grand jury to indict top cops". (DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars") Grand juries continued to exist after the founding of the United Federation of Planets. In 2373, Quark was set to testify to a Federation Grand Jury convened on Inferna Prime. (DS9: "The Ascent")
A grand jury is a jury of inquiry whose duty is to receive complaints and accusations in criminal cases, hear the evidence and return an indictment when they are satisfied that there is a probable cause that a crime was committed and the defendant committed it.
