Sweeping review of grand jury presentations underway in Chicago following misconduct revelations

The Justice Department is reviewing over 1,000 grand jury presentations by Illinois prosecutors following the dismissal of a case against four activists due to misconduct. The review includes past and pending cases in the Northern District of Illinois, prompted by revelations of unethical practices such as a prosecutor meeting with a grand juror outside proceedings and other jurors being excluded for disagreeing with the case dismissal.
