The story doesn’t make any sense to anyone who understands how the process there works. The prosecutor has virtually no control over the grand jury.
Judge Napolitano has said that if a prosecutor wants an indictment, he can usually get one.
I think that is why people think what they do.
Maybe in Missouri that isn’t always true.
It’s not the sensibility of the accusation which matters to Holder’s people, it’s the seriousness of the charge.
What’s the next step for the DOJ.Indict the grand jury members for racism?Harrass their families?Shoot their dogs?
“The story doesn’t make any sense to anyone who understands how the process there works. The prosecutor has virtually no control over the grand jury.”
I agree, and I have served on a Criminal Grand Jury in California. The only “
control’ the prosecutor has is the evidence he presents to the GJ. The votes on indictments (we did four), were all taken in secret and the DA didn’t know who voted for what. He had to take the jury foreman’s word affirmed by the rest of the jurors but he did not get to poll the jury so he had no specifics.
