I agree that the Grand Jury will vote that crime had been committed and that the DA presented sufficient evidence that Officer Wilson should stand trial.
Remember that the DA in most states is not required to present exculpatory evidence at this point, doesn’t have to present all the evidence he has at this time.
The joker in the deck is that the GJ can directly question the witnesses, none of whom have access to legal representation at this stage. And those questions some times kick the DA in the nuts. Not often but sometimes.
So the DA has a bit of a dilemma IIRC at this point, to call or not call Officer Wilson. He also would not have the advice of his counsel at this time.
While the GJ proceedings are supposed to be secret, I’d bet the odds that before courthouse is emptied for the night some media will have received a selected leak and will run with it.
The Fergusons keep saying that they’re going to make a presentation to a grand jury, possibly today ( Wed.) But there’s been no press at all of a jury being screened/selected and many communities run standing GJ’s for every 30 days or so. In my community about 300 people are called to pick a GJ from so it would always get to be pretty public. That would mean that any standing jury would already have been seated prior to the Brownyfest. In my view it would be absolutely improper to bring anything to a GJ until the toxicology results are available. Shooting a nutcase stoner is a whole different animal that shooting a teetotaling college-bound Valedicktorian.
