How often courts cite this section

citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

Sec. 10. (a) Except when required to do so by law, a person who has been present at a grand jury proceeding and who knowingly or intentionally discloses:

(1) any evidence or testimony given or produced;

(2) what a grand juror said; or

(3) the vote of any grand juror;

to any other person, except to a person who was also present or entitled to be present at that proceeding or to the prosecuting attorney or his representative, commits unauthorized disclosure of grand jury information, a Class B misdemeanor.

(b) The transcript of testimony of a witness before a grand jury may be produced only:

(1) for the official use of the prosecuting attorney; or

(2) upon order of:

(A) the court which impaneled the grand jury;

(B) the court trying a case upon an indictment of the grand jury; or

but only after a showing of particularized need for the transcript.
