A grand jury has reached a decision on whether to indict Darren Wilson, the white Ferguson, Mo. police officer whose fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager sparked days of turbulent protests, sources close to the process said.

Sources said that press conferences are being prepared by the county prosecutors’ office and the Missouri governor. Those press conferences will likely come later today.

Awesome, thanks for bestowing such an honor on me!!

I'm wondering what thread you are reading though; lots of people on this one sure seem to be assuming the natives will burn down my city and are getting quite a chuckle out of it at the same time.

So unless you happen to be from around these parts and have some skin in the game, that makes your little tantrum - wait for it - pretentious and sanctimonious!

I’m not sure how you could effectively not make the indictment/no indictment decision non-public. If there’s an indictment, there will be a trial date set. That is a matter of public record, and it certainly would be newsworthy. Therefore, even if a decision is not publicly announced, either there will be a trial date reported by media outlets or there will not. It’s really not too difficult to figure out the grand jury’s decision even if there’s no public announcement.

You can bet the fix is in, this hero officer will get indicted..no way would they allow him to not be charged..you can bet Holder and company made sure he would be charged with at least 2nd degree murder

It’s my understanding that the defense team can submit a packet (information as to why to no bill) to the grand jury but that no defense lawyers can even be in the grand jury room.

They are one hour behind the eastern time, so it is currently 1:55 pm there.

I was in the middle of the call when the message came on. Ok, it’s working now. Strange about your police scanner app.

He probably hasn't stopped crying after seeing what Arkansas did to Ole Miss.

We'll see plenty of that!

Kidding aside, I pray for peace, but don't expect it.

My guess for any announcements coming out today:

"Today we're announcing that the grand jury has finished hearing evidence, and will now adjourn for Thanksgiving. They will reconvene next week and begin the deliberations. Have a nice Thanksgiving everyone."
