what are the guide lines and such about double jeopardy type actions involving a Grand Jury ?I would think its a done deal an the brothers,not mine, need to deal with it
Double jeopardy would not be an issue. Jeopardy doesn’t attach to grand jury proceedings—it doesn’t attach until a trial jury is empaneled—so a prosecutor is technically free to present the same case to as many grand juries as he likes until one returns an indictment.
There is no double jeopardy attached until the criminal trial begins.
No double jeopardy since there was not a trial.
There is no double jeopardy in Grand Jury proceedings. It can only attach once an actual trial jury is empaneled or a judge dismisses a case with prejudice, meaning it can’t be reopened. Neither happened in Wilson’s case.
The NAACP, like other evidence deniers, don’t care what the
fact are. This Prosecutor and other prosecutors can put on a case in whatever manner they choose. That’s the accepted practice.

The Prosecutor told the public that several people who testified weren’t even there. Does anyone really think he didn’t tell Grand Jurors that too? If not, then that would leave him open to disbarment. I don’t think he would throw away his career, his reputation, and leave himself open to ridicule for Wilson or anyone else
So they get their wish and they indict, it goes to trial. And the jury finds them not guilty. What then? Burn down a few more cities?
