State Ex Rel. Brautigam v. Interim Report of Grand Jury

February 27, 195793 So. 2d 99

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida held that a grand jury may not issue a report that impugns the motives or conduct of public officials without filing an indictment, and therefore reversed the trial judge's order refusing to suppress the interim report, directing expungement of the offending matter.
