House Bill 941 -- Review of incidents involving a peace officer's use of deadly force that results in death or serious bodily injury: No other state had allowed as much leeway as Georgia, but now this law aims to limit police officers' ability to influence the outcome of grand jury proceedings when they face possible charges. Previously, officers were allowed to sit in the grand jury hearing, listen to all the evidence against them and make a statement at the end that could not be questioned or challenged by prosecutors. Now, police officers may offer a statement to grand jurors but will not be allowed to stay in the grand jury room. They also will face cross-examination.
