Supreme Court of Florida
Seay v. State
November 1, 1973286 So. 2d 532
Summary
The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the convictions, holding that a plea of nolo contendere waives a defendant's constitutional challenge to the grand jury, that challenges must be made before empanelment, that Chapters 57‑550 and 70‑1000 governing grand jury selection are constitutional, and that a circuit judge who also serves as a grand jury commissioner may rule on the constitutionality of the selection process.
