The thing that a court jury demonstrates when they make decisions and rulings based more on beliefs outside of law, or to appear more important than their jury position entails. It usually involves decisions based on facts that don't pertain to the actual charges in any way.
It doesn't have to be a grand jury. That just makes the pun work is all.

Everyone knew that Mr. Chang was a dangerous assassin, but the prosecution had no legal evidence whatsoever. Luckily, the jury showed delusions of grand jury by sentencing him to death. See in this one, the grand jury reference does make sense.
The jurors exhibited delusions of grand jury when they convicted the man solely on the basis that he liked to carve wooden figurines.

Get the Delusions of grandeur mug.Related Words
The mistaken belief that one is still "technically" a virgin, despite having engaged in activity that is medically defined as sexual intercourse. This delusion can be caused by either denial or misinformation regarding what sexual intercourse actually is.
This delusion is most common amongst females, but is sometimes observed in males. Usually, a strong sense of regret, anxiety, or religious obligation leads the individual or individuals to invent excuses (either before or after the act of sex) that redefine their activity as something that doesn't quite constitute sex.
Common excuses include, but are not limited to:
-If the male did not ejaculate, or if he "pulled out"
-If the female also did not reach orgasm
-If the length of the intercourse was less than a given amount of time
-If only the tip of the penis was inserted as "experimentation"
-If one or both of the individuals was intoxicated and "was not making good judgments"
Some incidences of denial are so extreme that the individual will afterward claim that he or she was raped, when in reality the sex was consensual, in order to remove themselves from the responsibility of having lost their virginity.
