Now that a grand jury is assembled to investigate Tulsa County Sheriff Stanley Glanz, how it operates is private. That includes which room it meets in, what witnesses it calls, when it meets and for how long.
A petition drive calling for the grand jury was prompted by the April 2 fatal shooting of a man by ex-volunteer deputy Robert Bates.
The jury will investigate whether Glanz neglected his duties and whether reserve deputies who gave gifts to the agency were given special treatment.
If the panel met Wednesday it could not be readily seen. An attorney involved in the case says it's likely that, if jurors met, it would be to pick a clerk and decide on a schedule the 12 jurors and three alternates could agree upon.
