hear the evidence, but there are no guaranteed in that regard, and this grand jury might decide for any number of reasons ranging from the mundane like someone needs to go home and tend to a child or fix a meal, to something complicated, like they do want more time before they vote on this most serious of indictments. >> gwen, you are a former prosecutor down there, you know the sort of legal system in georgia better than most. when you look at a case like this, and you look at what fani willis has been doing, can know this may sound simplistic, but how big a squad are we talking about? is this fani willis with just a couple assistants or sort of the entire legal apparatus of the state and the county involved in this? because as she mentioned, this has been a 2-year process. that's a lot of resources for a state to be involved in for something that the entire sort of national zeitgeist rests upon. how wig is the group of people working on this case that may finally get an indictment
