Question is: why stop and vote now?
There’s no time limit.
No the question is why such a stupid misleading headline. It is not possible for the Grand Jury to “fail to make a dicision”. In Mo. there is no such thing as a “hung” grand jury.
They hear the evidence. When they have all the evidence, then they vote. Nine votes to indict is what it takes. Any thing less than nine means a no bill is issued.
The Grand Jury will vote when they hear the evidence. An announcement, which is up to the local authorities as to when, would be nice to have when the weather is cold and the schools etc. are already closed.
The locals are not the ones everyone is concerned about. It is the communists, Black Panthers, Occupy Thugs, and the KKK - same old SOBs different decade. And don’t forget, SEIU has been very visible too.
Actually there are time limits. A grand jury was impaneled in May for 4 months to hear whatever cases need to be heard. This GJ term should have been over already but was extended till Jan. 7, 2015 because of this case.
I am not sure how many extensions can be granted.
