Grand Jury Mistakes = Case Dismissals

As many as 35.

The mistakes?
[The prosecutor] rushed the grand jurors by saying that, while there are no time limits, grand jury deliberations generally take "anywhere between 30 seconds and 5 minutes." Berk also improperly implied that prosecutors might have damaging evidence against defendants that the grand jury was not hearing and said that defendants were not given immunity in the grand jury because "these are people who our office has made a decision have committed some wrongdoing."
