Ferguson Prosecutor Says No Charge Decision Until October

So are they going to drag this whole event out until October then? Pathetic.

Bloomberg – by Tim Bross

The Missouri grand jury that began considering evidence today in the police killing of an unarmed man won’t decide whether to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson until October “at the earliest,” a spokesman for the local prosecutor said.  

The grand jury, which is presented testimony and other evidence by prosecutors, must decide whether to indict Wilson for the shooting in the St. Louis suburb, and on what charge.

A grand jury, which in this case is a panel of 12 jurors, traditionally hears evidence in many cases during the course of its term. Unlike a trial, or petit jury, a grand jury hands up an indictment rather than a verdict.

The Clayton, Missouri grand jury was empaneled in May, said Edward Magee, spokesman for prosecutor Bob McCulloch. He said that the process of presenting evidence will last until October.

  2. Of course. They want to get closer to the mid-term elections when they can stir their base up to get out to vote. They know they don’t have the evidence to convict him and the news will incite their base.
