Supreme Court Approves New Multicounty Grand Jury

Attorney General’s Office

Attorney General Scott Pruitt announced Wednesday that the Oklahoma Supreme Court has ordered a new multicounty grand jury be convened.

The multicounty grand jury has jurisdiction to investigate criminal matters in all 77 counties, assisting local law enforcement as well as handling matters of state interest. The grand jurors meet at the Oklahoma Attorney General’s Building to hear testimony for two to three days each month. Testimony before a grand jury is closed to the public. Session dates have yet to be determined.

The 14th Oklahoma Multicounty Grand Jury will again be under the supervision of the Honorable Barbara Swinton, District Judge, Oklahoma County, serving as Presiding Judge.

Leading the multicounty grand jury will once again be Assistant Attorney General Charles S. Rogers, chief of the AG’s Multicounty Grand Jury Unit.

The new multicounty grand jury was requested by Pruitt on Sept. 12.
