OPINION OF THE COURT
Titone, J.
The issue in this appeal is whether it is inherently prejudicial to obtain an indictment against a civilian defendant from a Grand Jury that has also been asked to consider a police misconduct charge arising out of the same incident. On this appeal, defendant contends that such a presentment procedure so impairs the integrity of the Grand Jury proceeding as to taint the indictment. Finding no concrete prejudice resulting from the “dual slip” presentment in this case, we conclude that the indictment against defendant was properly upheld.
