Olsen v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the trial court’s denial of Robert Olsen’s motion to dismiss his indictment, holding that the presence of law‑enforcement officers, prosecutors, staff and an expert witness during the evidentiary stage of a grand jury does not violate grand‑jury secrecy, that no prejudice was shown, and that any limitation on who may attend such proceedings is a matter for the legislature, not the courts.
