OAG 80-97 is cited to discuss a previous opinion regarding whether a Commonwealth's Attorney can refuse to allow a case dismissed at the District Court level to be brought before the Grand Jury. The decision explains that while the Commonwealth's Attorney should provide the dismissed case information to the grand jurors, it ultimately leaves the decision to investigate further to the grand jury. This citation is used to illustrate past practices and opinions on the interaction between the Commonwealth's Attorney and the grand jury, which is relevant to the current question about a private citizen's rights in presenting a case directly to the grand jury.
