In the State of Minnesota does the accused legally have to be notified about a grand jury being called ? If so how are they notified and if not why ?
No, they are generally not notified, and there is no requirement to do so. The reason is that if individuals are being investigated there is no requirement to notify them.
I suggest your starting point for study be the MN Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 18. Tricia Dwyer Esq 612-296-9666. Minnesota Criminal Defense - Witness - Pre-Charge Criminal Defense Attorneys Tricia Dwyer Esq & Assoc PLLC
No. Notification of the defendant is not required.
