“Great, except it cost him everything he owned to fight it, and he won’t get it back.”

It didn’t cost the guy anything. They never identified him.

Geez.

“They never identified him.”

So none of the other witnesses in the restaurant saw him? The responding officers never questioned him? The Grand Jury was called against an unknown John Doe?

No wonder they couldn’t indite him... He wasn’t even there...

Did you watch the video or read the article? All the answers to your questions are right in front of your face.

Geez.

Several people here were assuring me he was going to prison lol.

And I was one of them. It was a justified shoot right up until the coup de grace shot at the end.

Good on the Grand Jury for not indicting him, but he dodged a bullet, pun intended.

Yup. If you don’t let them have their way with you, you area racist, white supremacist.

Can you imagine how all hell would break loose if blacks were treated by whites the way it has become acceptable for blacks to treat whites?

Same with muslims.

Legally the robber still committed armed robbery even if the gun is fake. The key is that the robber intended for the victims to believe it was a real gun.

Per your tag line; FR just censored yours, they removed mine completely.

Mine used to say “Progressives in the open—FIRE FOR EFFECT”.

Guess the mods didn’t like it very much!

Why do you think it cost him anything? He was never arrested or charged, and you can’t fight anything at the grand jury - you are not represented in the grand jury at all. If you are called to testify, you can refuse based on the 5th amendment, but if you choose to testify, you can’t bring a lawyer in with you. Perhaps he retained a lawyer to be prepared (I would in that situation), but there wouldn’t have been a whole lot for the lawyer to do until the grand jury process was over.

In Texas, cases like this always go to the grand jury. You cannot prosecute any felony in Texas unless the charges have been given a “true bill” by a grand jury.

It may be one of those weird jurisdictions where if somebody shoots somebody to death, the known facts must be laid in front of a Grand Jury for determination whether there is just cause to prosecute.

Just spitballin’.
