What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
My cousin works for an attorney and she was the magistrate at my first hearing. She bound me over to the grand jury. Isn't that a conflict of interest?
Unless the judge is hearing cases that he represented a party on, I don't see any conflict, unless you're going to claim there is some prejudice against you because your cousin is one of their employees?
I agree. And you were bound over to the grand jury if you were charged with a felony because that is what happens. Apparently you appeared in a municipal court. Well muni court can only handle misdemeanors to conclusion so they send it to the grand jury.
