The indictments came nearly three weeks after Mosby announced criminal charges against the officers. Some charges were slightly different than what Mosby announced on May 1. The grand jury review is a procedural step to move the case forward to a higher court, from district court to Baltimore City Circuit Court.

The Grand Jury came in real fast with their indictment. Which leads me to believe they were just rubber stamping what Mosby, Rawling-Blake, Lynch and any and all other black females wanted.

Do we have the racial make-up of the Grand Jury yet? Where is this Grand Jury from?

This Grand Jury must have been Lynch's idea, since it was not necessary to bring charges, but was necessary to avoid the preliminary hearing that had been set for May 27th.

At that time, any charges that didn't have probable cause would likely have been dismissed, including all those false arrest charges.

As it is, with indictments, there is no need for the preliminary hearing, and they go straight to arraignment.

So, the 6 were arrested a couple of weeks ago before they were indicted today.

I hope they hire some sharp lawyers. It seems the Baltimore legal process is slimy at best.
