Grand Jury Testimony

Famous quotes containing the words grand, jury and/or testimony:

    “You have a grand gift of silence, Watson,” said he, “it makes you quite invaluable as a companion.”
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    So the Snark found the verdict, although as it owned,
    It was spent with the toils of the day:
    When it said the word ‘GUILTY!’ the Jury all groaned,
    And some of them fainted away.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    I have been too long acquainted with human nature to have great regard for human testimony; and a very great degree of probability, supported by various concurrent circumstances, conspiring in one point, will have much greater weight with me, than human testimony upon oath, or even upon honour; both of which I have frequently seen considerably warped by private views.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
