Grand jury rejects criminal charges in death of Robert Saylor, man with Down syndrome
Less than five miles from the theater where a man with Down syndrome died at the hands of the law enforcement officials he idolized, a grand jury on Friday heard the details of the case and decided that no crime had been committed.
They felt no further investigation was necessary, Frederick County States Attorney J. Charles Smith said at a news conference outside the countys courthouse.
rand jury proceedings are secretive in Maryland, but Smith said that his office presented the jury with 17 witness statements and that three deputies involved in the death Lt. Scott Jewell, Sgt. Rich Rochford and Deputy First Class James Harris all testified.
An attorney for the parents of Robert Ethan Saylor, who died at the age of 26, described their reaction as extremely disappointed and saddened and concerned.
This is a really hard day for them, attorney Sharon Krevor-Weisbaum said. Theyre going to have to digest this unsettling news and determine their next step.
Nationally, the case has drawn wide attention from parents of children with Down syndrome and advocacy groups. More than 1,000 angry messages also fill the Facebook page of the Frederick County Sheriffs Office.
Saylor was known for his hugs and was so fascinated with the police that he would sometimes call 911 just to ask a question.

FDNY EMS Lt. spews racist, anti-Semitic tweets, but cried when confronted
Hes a bigot and a blubbering crybaby.
EMS Lt. Timothy Dluhos, 34, uses an image of Hitler for his profile photo and Bad Lieutenant as his online name as he spews a barrage of racist, sexist, anti-Semitic and anti-Asian comments.
The FDNY boss proudly posed with Mayor Bloomberg during a 2009 ceremony but hatefully calls Hizzoner King Jew and King Heeb on Twitter.
Dluhos, who works at EMS Station 57 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, dropped to the ground sobbing Friday when The Post confronted him outside his Staten Island home.
There has got to be a lot worse out there than me, he insisted.
My life is ruined. Oh, my God, Dluhos wailed. Im so sorry.
Yet the 12-year EMS veteran, who was promoted to lieutenant in 2006, seemed to delight in these hateful Twitter diatribes:

* Im going to give up racial insults for Lent, he tweeted Feb. 12. Jesus that didnt [last] too long. F--ken chinks cant drive.
* While giving what he called a hood tour of the Bedford-Stuyvesant area he serves, he posted photos of a housing project, fried-chicken joints and a strip club. Real nasty place, he tweeted Feb 23. Ive been there.
* Hahaha! I work with the coloreds, he wrote in a Feb. 8 exchange. For 12 years so that s--t just run off on me.
* Too bad he didnt have rabies or AIDS and too bad he didnt bite King Heebs face off, he tweeted on Groundhog Day, Feb. 2, recalling when the groundhog Staten Island Chuck nipped Bloomberg at an event at the Staten Island Zoo.
