It said in an article that the grand jury has been seated since May. Are they sequestered like a regular jury? Having this going since May is crazy.

I think gj meet a few times a month,and they usually are considering more than one case. They're typically aa rubber stamp or a shield.

No. They met like once a week and unlike most grand juries where a prosecutor presents enough evidence to get an indictment after which point a trial would start the prosecutor decided to present all of the evidence, including testimony of the defendant.

 

All of which is not particularly common and makes a decent case that the prosecutor was trying to make sure an indictment did not happen.

Good. That makes much more sense.

So, at least 1, possibly 2 police cars on fire, lots of tear gas already deployed, several stores broken into and a couple being looted, some people pushing back against the looters but not enough, with an army moving in on top of that. Pretty much exactly the same setup we saw when this first broke out.

Police need to get these destructive animals off the streets

 

I would get perma-banned if I responded to this post the way I want to.

 

You have got to be kidding.

People are also burning American Flags in the streets...

I'm appalled at how the announcement was handled. To tell the family at the same time you told everyone else on national TV...that's awful.

 

That's like LeBron and The Decision, except this is a much more pressing matter.
