The Ferguson, Mo., grand jury considering the indictment of Officer Darren Wilson, who killed teenager Michael Brown during an altercation in August, left the justice center in St. Louis on Friday without reaching a decision.

Sources told CNN on Saturday that it was unclear when the jury would reconvene.

Boarding up businesses and closing schools? Folks, we’ve already lost. The tribes have won.

Grand juries are often convened to hear more than one case. If it’s reported they will reconvene, it could be to hear another case, not Wilson.

It takes 9 of the 12 GJ in MO. Good article.

“Perhaps they HAVE made a verdict, are being released from their duties, and are getting out of Missouri.”

Yes. “No indictment”. Now all go into witness protection.

For whom?

For hundreds of thousands of law-abiding people and property owners, plus LE officers, who will suffer in proportion to the intensity of pending community-organized violence, looting, and arson. Every time the rioters get wound up and the announcement is deferred it takes some of their energy away, as does winter weather. The public is also getting more and more fed up with their criminal antics, which might increase the political will to crack down on them harder.

Wilson’s life and career in the St. Louis area were ruined permanently the moment he did his duty. Delays in the GJ decision are probably agonizing, but being murdered is his biggest problem. Another State-level GJ indictment can be sought, and the feds will also torture him with possibility of civil rights charges, until the statute of limitations expires.

They seem to be receiving “evidence” for an unusually long time. I wonder if there is precedent for drawing this on to tire out the jury.

Sounds like fun. We will spend the day at my sons house with the rest of the family. The next day is when we do the dinner for two at home. That is the best way to get Thanksgiving leftovers... LOL I will be eating leftovers for about a week.

Oh.... Good Luck to both of you kids.

Indeed.... ~Life is good~

I disagree. All this time has allowed the likes of Obama to build hatred towards Wilson. Had they finished the investigation and either handed an indictment or cleared him there would not have been time for them to organize all around the country as they have. As it is they have give the race crowd time to build hatred and create a climate of fear.

That picture demonstrates the wages of fatherlessness and of LBJ’s Great Society.

The school closing was announced Friday or maybe earlier based upon the info that a
jury decision would be forthcoming by Friday. Apparently the decision hasn’t been made.

No. The Washington Times said it was not known when they would reconvene, so they aren’t giving up.

*************

As I read or understood a report the GJ is called for 3 months and meets on Wednesday.
They may not meet next week because of Thanksgiving. Just speculation on my part.
