Do grand juries not get to work almost in secret without media coverage of the activities? Do they also not convene. often times before major media can start building "their case". To me they allow for a preemptive strike before the court of public opinion can really start tainting a jury pool. Plus my understanding is they get a little more access as far as questioning and evidence.
