Description
On November 1, 1979, appellant filed a Motion to Dismiss Indictment on the ground that no independent grand jury counsel was present at the proceedings to advise the grand jurors in violation of Art. I, ΓΒ§ 11 of the Hawaii State Constitution. Article I, ΓΒ§ 11 had been proposed by the Hawaii Constitutional Convention of 1978 and ratified by the voters on November 7, 1978. The State filed a memorandum in opposition arguing that Article I, ΓΒ§ 11 was not self-executing and that the present grand jury system prevailed until supplemental legislation was enacted.
