Paid petition · Supreme Court of Illinois, No. 129026 · judgment October 3, 2024
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Whether the Illinois Supreme Court’s holding in this case weakens the shield function of the grand jury process by inappropriately altering the standard for establishing a substantial denial of due process set forth in United States v. Mechanik and Bank of Nova Scotia v. United States. Whether the appropriate remedy for substantial denials of due process in grand jury proceedings is dismissal of the Indictment with prejudice as a deterrent to prosecutorial misconduct.
