DeWine to call special grand jury in Walmart shooting
WHIO ^ | Aug 19, 2014 | Breaking News Staff

Posted on 08/19/2014 2:22:47 PM PDT by Half Vast Conspiracy

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine will convene a special grand jury in two weeks to determine whether a crime was committed when Beavercreek police officers shot John Crawford III on Aug. 5 at a Walmart store.

DeWine said his office is reviewing footage from more than 200 cameras at the Pentagon Boulevard store where Crawford, 22, was shot by police officers on the evening of Aug. 5. He said his office is also retaining a "use of force" expert on the matter.

While DeWine was speaking, an attorney representing the Crawford family, Dayton attorney Michael Wright, released a statement saying the surveillance video he had seen showed there was no justification for the shooting.

FWIW

I suppose it will hinge on whether or not they asked him to drop the weapon or not.

more than 200 cameras at the Pentagon Boulevard store

I knew there were some cameras in stores, but more than 200 in one store?

“Crawford never waved the toy gun or appeared to point the weapon at anyone, but he did walk briefly with the air rifle resting on his shoulder.”
