Reply to comment by mojoxer in eli5 What does “indicted” mean? by jcw10489

Are the grand jury random people from the US?

Do they all have to agree on the indictment or would it also be an indictment if only, say 6 out of 10 grand jury members, think the person should be investigated?

Depending on the jurisdiction, some grand juries only need a 66% agreement rate and some only need a 75% agreement rate.
