Grand jury decision on Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson could come Friday

The grand jury hearing evidence on the Michael Brown shooting is preparing to meet Friday for what might be its final session, and a decision on whether to charge Officer Darren Wilson could come the same day, law enforcement officials briefed on the plans said.

St. Louis County prosecutors are preparing to present more evidence to the grand jury before starting deliberations, and a decision on an indictment expected soon after, the law enforcement officials said.

If a decision comes Friday, prosecutors are expected to provide law enforcement with 48 hours notice before making a public announcement, possibly on Sunday.

The current plans could still change and prosecutors could shift the planned grand jury session, the officials said.

I was thinking the prosecutor might wait until Monday to announce the decision because it would be so close to Thanksgiving and would maybe slow down the march numbers.

It will be Friday night or Saturday morning. The people who want to bunker down at home over the weekend can. You get tens of thousands of people trying to get home right after the news comes out could make for even a bigger miss. One or two blocked roads and nobody gets home.

I pray for peace.
