A lawyer for the family of the black 18-year-old fatally shot by a white police officer said today the grand jury process playing out in Missouri is unlike anything he's seen before and is unfair.
The St. Louis County prosecuting attorney, Robert McCulloch, has said that, unlike with a typical grand jury, he would present to this grand jury all the evidence gathered in the police investigation and offer the jurors the opportunity to hear from any witness with relevant information.
The target of the investigation, Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, was among those who testified.
A spokesman for McCulloch has indicated that the prosecutor's office will not likely make a specific recommendation about charges, but would give the grand jurors a range of charges to consider, from involuntary manslaughter up to first-degree murder.
The grand jury investigating the killing of Michael Brown by Wilson is not meeting this weekend and will reconvene Monday, sources told ABC News.

Yeah, I know, the prosecutor not putting the grand jury on auto-lynch is so unfair. The nerve of letting the facts speak for themselves!
Good Lord! How long will they drag this mess out! get on with it already!
Paging Angela Corey’s office, please pick up the courtesy phone in the railroad station.
This grand jury sure is taking their time. The purpose here is to indict or not. It is not to hold a trial to find guilt or innocense. BTW, they actually have until January. That would really piss off some folks if they waited that long.
The longer it drags on, the worse the weather gets. :)
Nothin like a few good black on white riots to boost the Christmas shopping season. Good gawd yawl.....
Hey yo! Can I buy a T-shirt from you? Are you out of bobble-heads?
What’s with this leftist idiots? Unfair? So any result of any situation that is not the one they want is “unfair”? Fools.
No laws, just feelings.
There you go again, using reason and logic like thinking individual. Please stop.....................8^)
“So any result of any situation that is not the one they want is “unfair”?”
Yes.
“Fools.”
Absolutely.
“auto-lynch”, LOL.
Some Self-Righteous Liberal, White Hollywood Actor or some White Ivy League Professor should offer themselves up as a Compensation Sacrifice to the Rabid Black Hoards for Whitey's Social Privilege & Racism & Prejudices that all keep the Black Man down.
The attorney is a liar. McCulloch took himself off of this one immediately and has 2 female assistant prosecutors handling the case. The assistants are acting as little more than errand runners for the Grand Jury that operates under the control of a judge.
There is no case presented and no arguments given. Pure evidence is given to the grand jury and they alone decide what evidence matters or who to call to testify.
If that cop gets indicted, he should challenge the indictment on due process grounds due to the political pressure that is being put on the grand jury. The message it is receiving is, “Indict or face the consequences to yourselves and the community.”
Verdict First! Then the trial!...................
Will they make the announcement Thursday night. Just in time for black friday shopping mayhem? Better yet time it with the release of a new Nike shoe.
I believe this is generally how grand juries are conducted.
