TITLE 15 COURTS

Section 12. Juries, 15-12-1 through 15-12-172.

ARTICLE 4 GRAND JURIES

15-12-73. Exclusion of admissions and communications among grand jurors.

Admissions and communications among grand jurors are excluded as evidence on grounds of public policy.

(Orig. Code 1863, § 3720; Code 1868, § 3744; Code 1873, § 3797; Code 1882, § 3797; Penal Code 1895, § 826; Penal Code 1910, § 830; Code 1933, § 59-303.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Disclosure when necessary in court.

- Although O.C.G.A. § 15-12-72 apparently makes an exception to O.C.G.A. § 15-12-73 by providing that grand jurors shall disclose everything which occurs in their service whenever it becomes necessary in any court of record in Georgia since the trial court apparently did not find such disclosure was necessary to resolve the issue before the grand jury, the trial court did not err by sustaining the state's objection to questions as to what transpired while the grand jury was in session. Womble v. State, 183 Ga. App. 727, 360 S.E.2d 271 (1987).
