Text
Whenever a sufficient number of the jurors of the original panel fail to attend before the grand jury is formed, the court may impanel the grand jury of so many of the original panel as may attend, and the rest of bystanders. If none of the original panel attend or no jurors have been appointed, the grand jury may consist entirely of bystanders.
