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.

Fox DC affiliate has announced the verdict will now be 8PM EST... any confirmation?

IF they plan to announce soon then for sure someone leaked by now. I would imagine the police would get a heads up.

I trained all my kids, girls included, how to shoot sub moa with the garand. Open sights. I Iove that rifle.

Just a hunch, but I think they will indict, too. I also think there will still be riots. After all, what else are all these people going to do?

Gives most everybody who works, a chance to get home?

How do ya think I feel being behind enemy lines for years? It's really hard to leave, agree. And some things make it nearly impossible. Of course, you'll never get me to tell people they should flee or move. That's just outright capitulation IMO. Besides I really hate cold weather.☺

FWIW, I'd make a stand.

[kinsman redeemer]

I’m surprised by the timing.

[Old Sarge]

Thanks, Mike!

I thought they said between 5:00 and 6:00, they may need extra time to get all security in place.

Mike just said 5:30

I heard the announcement will happen at 6:00 PM Eastern time.

I’m losing confidence in GP, too much unsubstantiated reporting.

[Hoodat]

Wouldn’t during daylight be best? Nothing good happens after dark.

[tanknetter]

Eastern or Central time?

[servantboy777]

I heard from a credible source that no announcement will be made this evening.

[servantboy777]

Sorry, couldn’t hepp my seff....juss waffling y’all! hehe

Why in the world would you announce this decision in the evening? This is like pouring gas on a fire no matter the outcome. Should have been down without any notification and in the morning when all the offices open. Craziness.
