How is it possible that a Grand Jury, comprised of citizens, and “vetted” by the judicial system... is “unqualified” to render a jury decision? FIND A NEW GRAND JURY YOU DUMB F**KS!
Entitlement society. Federal marshals will
take over.
This article was in our local rag here in SR this morning so I read the whole thing. I actually side with the Grand Jury on this one. (A friend of mine was on the GJ a couple of years ago so I got to hear an insider’s perspective, and basically he told me that the citizens want the GJ to Right All Wrongs in our fair county, which of course is impossible.) At any rate, this Grand Jury that just closed shop pointed out, quite logically, that they’re just a bunch of public-minded citizens and do not have the standing or the knowledge base to figure out if the D.A.’s lack of action is appropriate or not. The very most they can do is refer the issue back to the D.A. again with the instruction to look at the issue in more depth. Uh, that’s gonna do a lot of good. Not.
It’s not the GJs job to investigate. It’s their job to make a decision to prosecute based upon the evidence presented to it by the DA.
This sounds like the GJ is making excuses for itself. How hard is it to request the police report of the incident and the DA’s report and a witness or two???
Maybe they want to wait until after the civil trial but there won’t be one because Santa Rosa will settle out of court for a ton of bucks to avoid discovery.
BTW does anybody have a link to the DA’s report — I don’t want a download, just a link to the PDF to see how the DA explained away all the damning evidence.
