“I think (the grand jury) was very efficient and thoughtful in their process as well. They listened to the courts instruction on what they were supposed to do and didn’t waste any time in getting started,” said Romano. “I’d say it was just a little bit faster of a process than usual, but pretty close to normal from a time standpoint.”
Among the high-profile cases was an indictment returned against 37-year-old Raymond Thomas McIntire. He was indicted on multiple counts – one count of second degree sexual assault; five counts of sexual abuse by a parent, guarding or custodian; five counts incest; and four counts first degree sexual assault.
The session ended prior to 4 p.m. Tuesday. Harrison County Circuit Judge James Matish presided over the grand jury.
