______________________________________________________________________________
You, as grand
jurors for the County of ______, do solemnly swear that you will diligently
inquire into, and true presentment or indictment make of, all crimes against
this state committed or triable within this county that shall come to your
knowledge; that you will keep secret the proceedings before you, the counsel of
the state, your own counsel and that of your fellows; that you will indict no
person through envy, hatred or malice nor leave any person not indicted through
fear, favor, affection or hope of reward; but that you will indict upon the
evidence before you according to the truth and the laws of this state, so help
you God.
______________________________________________________________________________
(2) In
administering this oath, the blank therein must be filled with the name of the
county in which the court is sitting; and if any juror prefers, the juror must

thereof there must be added, “and this you promise under the pains and
penalties of perjury.” [Amended by 1973 c.836 §38]
