A veteran federal prosecutor was tabbed Monday to lead a grand jury investigation into the May 30 shooting death of a 22-year-old black man by a white bar owner in downtown Omaha.
Frederick D. Franklin, a long-serving federal prosecutor, will lead the grand jury of 16 citizens and three alternates as they probe the death of James Scurlock. Presiding Douglas County District Judge Shelly Stratman appointed Franklin.
The grand jury will investigate and either bring charges or no indictment against Jake Gardner, the 38-year-old former owner of The Hive and Gatsby bars downtown. Jurors also could choose to issue a report in the death of Scurlock.
Franklin, a Chicago native, is a 1986 graduate of the Creighton University School of Law who has served as an attorney since that time.
Franklin will lead the presentation of evidence and the law to the grand jurors. The grand jurors then will deliberate outside of his presence to decide whether to bring charges against Gardner.
Franklin has been an assistant U.S. attorney in Nebraska federal courts for 22 years and has served as the president of the Midlands Bar Association, an organization of black attorneys.
The appointment of a special prosecutor became necessary when Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine petitioned for the process. Kleine initially said on June 1 that he would not bring charges and did not think it necessary to have a grand jury review the case.

I don’t know.
Possibly he knew that BLM, Black Block and Antifa Terrorists would burn his building down if he did not.
Because we’re in a color revolution
The no such and clown agencies are active participants
Apparently so are parts of just us and fibbies
It would be nice if someday we have a POTUS that can help rein the evil Federal Government. I guess we will have to keep waiting, since Trump just caters to black criminals.
They handed the case to a terrorist azzwipe Federal prosecutor. He got his human sacrifice and now that innocent bar owner is dead.
His home address needs to be spread wide. Good enough for Mitch and Tucker, good enough for him.

It will tell you what’s up with this.
.
We agree totally on this one.
What white person on that grand jury would vote no when asked for an indictment by a black federal prosecutor?? Knowing that you are next for the race attack backed by the full force of the government if you do so?
I have and excuse, my anger over rides my interest in typing slowly and proofing.
Sorry.
This is absolutely sickening.
Thanks, I did not know that.
Yes. It is a terrible abuse of the legal system.
The Judge. And pressure that if they did not “investigate” further, they would burn down Omaha.
This is about the November election.
Certainly not about Justice.
There is no excuse for this.
A man is dead. Cannot be undone. Served no purpose but to appease the Terrorists and their financial backers.
White Lives Matter
Yes.
All Lives Matter.
And Jake Gardner’s death matters.

Important interview.
Because in defending his life, he killed one of their grunts or storm troopers. They cannot have one of these serfs defending their lives. Anyone who doesn’t know whose side the Law is on by now never will.
Please view this if you have not seen it locally.
Very credible discussion of Jake Gardner.
