The persecutor prosecutor can decide whether or not there is enough evidence to bring charges without a grand jury.
Because it might not have had the desired outcome.
Watching some whack job by name of Jay Morrison, of YMCCC, on CNN claiming it’s unfair to:
“Receive a demand of $500k bail for smashing a police car”
“Receive a demand of $50k bail, it was raised to $100k bail, for being part of the riots and took two things out of the store.”
“A father of one, who had a pair of sneakers, with the tags still on them and was part of the riot......erh (((wait for it....)))....Excuse me, part of the revolution, received $100k bail”
The System Consistently Oppresses and Targets Black People...”
************************************************************************
Did any of you get that line? “...Part of the revolution...”
Further, these thugs, even granny, were stealing and part of a grand scale malicious mischief, theft, burglary, arson and many other crimes.
Black People are being oppressed? WTF?
WTF?
WTF?
They Effing stole, burned down peoples homes, cars and businesses!!!
These aren’t innocent kids pulling a prank with no thought of the consequences.
They are running on the laws of nature and tribalism.
They are not good and decent people like the many who tried to help those who were victimized.
They are criminals!!!!!
Freakin Revolution???
Bring Foo!!!
That’s right, I said “Foo”
Yer too stoopet, no change that “Rock Hard Stoopet”, Scratch that too...”Rachel Jentell, Jubbah the Hut, Stoopet”
Don’t think they will need a jury either.
And can someone explain the difference between a states attorney and a district attorney???
Do we know for a fact that there was no Grand Jury?
This is basically the same thing Angela Corey did to George Zimmerman.
She looked at the evidence, said she had probable cause, charged him, and lost the case.
She didn’t want to bring the evidence before a grand jury, because I imagine that would not have agreed with her assessment.
And I suspect the same thing has occurred in this case.
Because everybody in authority in B-town is a racist thug!
Because it was obvious to her, as it was to many people that they (the 6 charged) unintentionally killed Gray (with varying culpability), while punishing him (adjusting his attitude) with a bumpy ride in the paddy wagon.
But don’t fret, I don’t think any DA has made a good political career from prosecuting a bunch of cops. This case will be no different, a kiss of death to the DA’s political career.

I thank God I live in bfe Nebraska.
The NFL Draft is nothing more then a slave market! /s
A grand jury is not necessary to obtain a filing. The prosecutor can make a decision about whether he/she thinks they have enough to obtain a decision. With the grand jury, the prosecutor takes his evidence to the grand jury, who decides if there is enough evidence that a jury might conclude the person is guilty, then they arrest the person. On a filing like this, I think they will hold a preliminary hearing where a judge will decide if there is enough evidence to continue with the prosecution. The biggest difference is the defense will be able to cross examine witnesses in the prelim.
Can you imagine if everyone charged with a crime had to be approved by a grand jury before charges were filed? It would be a horrendous log jamb.
While all states in the U.S. currently have provisions for grand juries, only half of the states actually employ them and twenty-two require their use, to varying extents. The modern trend is to use an adversarial preliminary hearing before a trial court judge, rather than grand jury, in the screening role of determining whether there is evidence establishing probable cause that a defendant committed a serious felony before that defendant is required to go to trial and risk a conviction on those charges.
. . .
The federal constitutional right to have federal criminal charges screened by a grand jury is one of just a handful of provisions of the federal Bill of Rights that does not also apply to state and local governments.

It’s different in every state. For a lot of states there can be direct charges and in other places there needs to be a grand jury indictment.
She issued a "Probable Cause Affidavit" which served as an arrest order. She has 30 days to convene a grand jury and seek an indictment.
An Attorney General, or a top prosecutor, can always directly bring charges. BUT, they usually use a Grand Jury, to keep politics out of the area. Here, the black slut WANTED to poison the Jury pool!
The victim is black and the political power is black. Melanin uber alles.
In Ferguson, a grand jury refused to indict. Mosby couldn’t take that risk.
Because Valerie Jarret already told the mayor she wants them damn cops hung at sunrise.
