“The story doesn’t make any sense to anyone who understands how the process there works. The prosecutor has virtually no control over the grand jury.”
I agree, and I have served on a Criminal Grand Jury in California. The only “
control’ the prosecutor has is the evidence he presents to the GJ. The votes on indictments (we did four), were all taken in secret and the DA didn’t know who voted for what. He had to take the jury foreman’s word affirmed by the rest of the jurors but he did not get to poll the jury so he had no specifics.
I’m no expert but researching how this is being conducted isn’t very hard.
One of my favorite lines of BS that I’ve seen come from both sides is that the jurors were “cherry picked” for this case. The fact is that these jurors had been picked to serve before the shooting even happened and were already working on other cases.
