The Asst Federal Prosecutor leading the Grand Jury:
Veteran federal prosecutor to lead grand jury probe into James Scurlock’s death
Franklin, a Chicago native, is a 1986 graduate of the Creighton University School of Law who has served as an attorney since that time.
Franklin will lead the presentation of evidence and the law to the grand jurors. The grand jurors then will deliberate outside of his presence to decide whether to bring charges against Gardner.
Franklin has been an assistant U.S. attorney in Nebraska federal courts for 22 years and has served as the president of the Midlands Bar Association, an organization of black attorneys.
The appointment of a special prosecutor became necessary when Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine petitioned for the process. Kleine initially said on June 1 that he would not bring charges and did not think it necessary to have a grand jury review the case.
So now Jake Gardner is dead.
here may be a reason:
“Kleine has questioned why Gardner didn’t just stay behind his bouncer after the windows of his bar were broken out. But based on the video of the struggle, he said, he determined that Gardner fired in self-defense.”
“The owner of the building has since evicted Gardner. No date has been set for the grand jury investigation.”
“John Friend, clerk of the Douglas County District Court, said the grand jury likely will not convene for a couple of months, in part because of concerns about the coronavirus outbreak”

He was forced to defend himself against a Federal Prosecutor and he was evicted from his place of business and his livelihood was destroyed. He knew the intent of the grand jury was to crush him financially and prosecute him in a hostile environment. He was facing jail time after a long struggle. So he killed himself. What a horrible end.
