The court then goes into the history of the grand jury system and gives each member 24 charges prior to swearing in. The charges or instructions pertain to rights and duties of a grand jury member. Included in the instructions also are the methods of {bringing an indictment and it takes five of the six votes to Bring an indictment. '' Only members of the jury may be present when indictments are voted. At other times the prosecutor is present to assist the jurymen. The grand jury bailiff cannot be present during any deliberations or when a vote on an indictment is taken.
