A grand juror is suing St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch in an effort to speak out on what happened in the Darren Wilson case. Under typical circumstances, grand jurors are prohibited by law from discussing cases they were involved in.
The grand juror, referred to only as “Grand Juror Doe” in the lawsuit, takes issue with how McCulloch characterized the case. McCulloch released evidence presented to the grand jury and publicly discussed the case after the grand jury decided not to indict Wilson, then a Ferguson police officer, in the shooting death of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old African-American. […]
In the lawsuit filed Monday in federal court, the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri argues that this case is unique and that the usual reasons for requiring the jurors to maintain secrecy should not apply. …

With a little SPLC(Southern Pukes Law Center) tossed in to the mix?
That didn’t sound right. Not pukes from the south. Just the SPLC. Whew! Gotta clarify.
Holders people made this grand juror an offer he/she couldn’t refuse.
You are correct .. as soon as I heard the ACLU was suing, I knew they had found a snitch among the jurors who did not like being “unknown”.
Well .. it seems the ACLU doesn’t want to calm things down .. but instead it wants to keep the “race war” going.
I'd give 10-1 odds.
Someone wants 15 minutes of fame and a book/movie deal. Follow the money.
The snitch is talking in spite of orders not to talk about it.
A Prosecutor is free to present a case in the manner or order he or she sees fit to do it in all phases of a Prosecution, from a Grand Jury or Preliminary examination proceedings to a full blown trial.
This lawsuit is going nowhere.
Yep.
Being used by people who want to pour more gasoline on the fire before the looters and arsonists and street rioters get tired and start staying home.
The race pimps have been able to gin up a lot of street demonstrations in different cities but the black racist insurgency hasn't reached critical mass and become self sustaining yet.
So they want to give it more fuel, breathe some life into it, whip the perpetually offended into a lather again. .
The anti-Southern, intellectual Poverty, anti-Law-and-Order Center has good reason to argue that this case is "unique," because if it isn't, the Revolution is doomed. Of course, they don't intend to win this. ("What's our Ferguson angle?" they asked around the table in November's management meeting.) Like literally everything they do, it's a ploy to get in the papers and put more rich Commies' money in Morris Dees's pocket.
Boys, when the Revolution comes, it won't be your revolution. I'd get your visa in order for Cuba or maybe Iran.
not surprised something like this hadn’t happened sooner. You have to figure there were at least a few who probably would have voted for charges. Considering that at least a few friends and family would know they were a grand juror, and depending on views, can see this happening. Again this would go against all tenants of our judicial system.
George Zimmerman should never have had to face a trial since the charges were not brought by a grand jury--the State of Florida was determined to prosecute him so they picked a special prosecutor to circumvent the constitutional protection.
Remember when the liberals complain about the grand jury decisions they don't like, that they are attacking the Bill of Rights.
So, “someone” on the Grand Jury wants to show they wanted charges but were beat down by white devils, so that the angry mob will get off his/her back. They have already violated secrecy in the comments used to publicize their lawsuit. If the gag order is removed, the plaintiff will promptly identify the other jurors. Then protest thugs will attack the jurors and ruin, if not take, their lives.
In the next case, jurors will be intimidated, and follow the mob diktat from fear. This is precisely why Grand Jury proceedings are secret. Any attorney involved in this travesty should be disbarred.
Isn’t that supposed to be Southern Pukes Larceny Center?
Once they destroy the American grand jury system, I wonder how they will like Sharia Law.
It doesn’t look like it’s a complaint about the presentation of the case as it is his revealing information after the Grand Jury issued their finding. That’s my reading of it anyway.
Deliberate effort to keep the protests and anger going.
This has Obama’s fingerprints all over it. I wonder how long it took them to come up with the “this case is unique, so the law doesn’t apply” excuse?
