district judge.

If the attorney general or the governor deems it to be in the
public interest to convene a grand jury which shall have
jurisdiction extending beyond the boundaries of any single
county, he may petition the judge of any district court for an
order in accordance with the provisions of W.S. 7-5-301 through
7-5-309. The district judge may, for good cause shown, order the
impaneling of a state grand jury which shall have statewide
jurisdiction. In making his determination as to the need for
impaneling a state grand jury, the judge shall require a showing
that the matter cannot be effectively handled by a county grand
jury impaneled pursuant to W.S. 7-5-101 through 7-5-209.
