Telophase is the fifth and final phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. Telophase begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have been separated and pulled to opposite sides, or poles, of the cell.
Grand juries consist of 16 to 23 jurors (it's up to the judge), but 12 yes votes are always required for an indictment. Grand jurors are selected from the same voter registration rolls used to pick ordinary federal jurors. Hundreds are summoned when a new jury is needed and then the judge excuses people who would find it especially burdensome to give up two or three days a week for a year and a half. As a result, grand jurors are generally retirees, the unemployed, or government employees.
A grand jury is a specially appointed body that determines whether a prosecutor has gathered enough evidence to warrant a trial in a particular case. Used only in special cases, the grand jury serves as a conduit through which reasonable cases pass into the traditional trial system. The role of the grand jury is to determine whether the evidence gathered by a district, state, or federal prosecuting attorney creates a justifiable basis for an indictment. Though once used throughout the United Kingdom and some of Europe, modern-day grand juries exist primarily in the United States.
