Absolutely.. She only needed a grand jury if she was charging first degree murder. She is going for manslaughter as I understand it. One does not need a grand jury for that.

There doesn't seem to be a bit of evidence that would support a manslaughter conviction. However, at the risk of sounding like a racist, if the jury is all black, expect a conviction regardless of evidence. Also, if he is arrested and charged, expect the media to go nuclear on his trial coverage, and whip up the savages to a raging furor if he isn't. It will be an enormous legal circus with the outcome having consequences either way.

I think the “evidence” so far certainly supports manslaughter moreso than first degree murder. I do not see them proving premeditation. I agree re: the media circus. Also, because this is Florida, there is a greater chance the trial will be televised.
