What is Delusions Of Grand Jury?
1.
The thing that a court jury demonstrates when they make decisions and rulings based more on beliefs outside of law, or to appear more important than their jury position entails. It usually involves decisions based on facts that don't pertain to the actual charges in any way.
It doesn't have to be a grand jury. That just makes the pun work is all.
