A motion to dismiss the indictment may be based on objections to the array or on the lack of legal qualification of an individual juror, if not previously determined upon challenge. An indictment shall not be dismissed on the ground that one or more members of the grand jury were not legally qualified, if it appears from the record kept pursuant to subdivision (C) that seven or more grand jurors, after deducting the number not legally qualified, concurred in finding the indictment.
Ohio. Crim. R. 6
Staff Note (July 1, 2019 Amendment)
Crim.R. 6
The changes to this Rule were made to make the Rule gender neutral. Further, language was added to subsection (D) so that the Rule would comply with Sup. R. 88 and would allow an interpreter to remain in the grand jury room during deliberation and voting. Subsection (E) was changed to clarify that the deliberations and the vote of the grand jury are secret; it was meant to give emphasis to what is already recognized law in Ohio, and it was not meant to be a substantive change.
