Actually, they CAN be unsealed so you're wrong again.
Your record is intact.
Generally, grand jury transcripts are not public record and are not automatically unsealed. There are strict rules and legal precedents that protect the secrecy of grand jury proceedings.
However, in specific circumstances, a judge may order the unsealing of grand jury transcripts if certain legal criteria are met.
Reasons for Grand Jury Secrecy:
Preventing Flight:
Secrecy can prevent individuals from fleeing if they know they are under investigation.
Witness Tampering:
It discourages potential witnesses from being intimidated or influenced.
Open Testimony:
It encourages witnesses to be more forthcoming and honest, knowing their testimony won't be immediately public.
Protection of Individuals Not Indicted:
It protects the reputation of individuals who are investigated but not indicted.
When Transcripts May Be Unsealed:
Court Order:
A judge can order the unsealing of grand jury transcripts if there is a compelling reason and the request meets certain legal requirements.
Specific Exceptions:
Some jurisdictions have specific exceptions, often related to ongoing investigations or judicial proceedings.
Judicial Review:
If the government is seeking to use grand jury material in a judicial proceeding, a judge may review the material to determine if it should be released.
Recent Examples:
In a recent case involving Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, the Justice Department requested the unsealing of grand jury transcripts related to the investigations. However, a judge in Florida denied the request, citing the lack of sufficient legal grounds and existing precedent against unsealing. The judge noted that the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers Florida, has limited exceptions for unsealing grand jury materials.
Ongoing Legal Processes:
In other jurisdictions, such as the Second Circuit, which includes New York, similar motions to unseal grand jury transcripts related to Epstein and Maxwell are still under consideration by judges.
In conclusion, while grand jury secrecy is the general rule, there are legal avenues for transcripts to be unsealed under specific circumstances and with court approval.
