This prosecutor is the only one that can present evidence, so when he decides to cherry-pick the evidence and only call what he or she wants the grand jury to hear, then this is a problem.
The defendant cannot ask any questions------none.

This grand jury took three months during this time and why it took so long the media and this justice department in that state there was what we saw and heard a smear campaign.

Grand juries are impaneled and in murder cases -usually take two weeks to indict or not to indict.

Then we see the police department go to the governor to start putting in place there police agenda of serve and protect moniker and then to top it off that information was coming from somewhere in the justice system being leaked information from this prosecutor and the police is really NOT far fetched.

It was reported his family (prosecutor) had one of there own killed while on the police force by a person of color.

The governor should have fired this prosecutor from the start to have impartially, instead of this political gamesmanship.

Every 28 minutes some one in this country is shot dead, that should be a sobering thought.
We have more deaths by a gun, than by a car accident, that is really scary to say the least

28 MINUTES SOMEONE IS KILLED By A GUN = ( 2 per Hour @ 48 per day @ 365 days = 17,520 deaths by a GUN

I thought though that this was a state grand jury not federal? cstanleytech Nov 2014 #18
It is. Unfortunately there are no statistics lovemydog Nov 2014 #19
