People v. Glass, 627 N.W.2d 261 (Mich. 2001). · cites it 4× “The Clinton County juror questionnaire also did not include questions about race. 5 We note that the Legislature requires that the names of grand jurors shall be drawn in the same manner and from the same source as petit jurors.”
People v. Edmond, 273 N.W.2d 85 (Mich. Ct. App. 1978). · cites it 2× “We hold, therefore, that MCL 600.1326; MSA 27A.1326 does not mandate that the Board randomly select the final 13 to 17 persons ultimately chosen to sit on the grand jury nor does it preclude reasonable selection by the supervising judge.”
People v. Glass, 597 N.W.2d 876 (Mich. Ct. App. 1999). “MCL 600.1326; MSA 27A.1326. In this regard, the prosecution’s reliance on an unpublished decision of this Court is misplaced inasmuch as unpublished decisions are not precedentially binding under the rule of stare decisis.”
