Publicly announced days ago is that "Tennessee grand jury foremen are not screened for eligibility the way other grand jurors and trial court jurors are.

This practice is consistent with the report we received from Monroe County Tennessee Court Clerk Martha Cook that in Monroe County, "The judge can pick the foreperson from wherever they choose," Cook said. "And they serve for two years unlike the other jurors."

Cook made her remarks responding to a question posed regarding why--after twenty-eight consecutive years as foreman, standing before fifty-six consecutive Monroe County Grand Juries--Pettway had been replaced (1982 through 2010 calendar years).
