I just wish people wold stop retweeting the 538 story about FEDERAL grand juries as it has no relation to this situation.

It’s Incredibly Rare For A Grand Jury To Do What Ferguson’s Just Did

re: #362 wheat-dogghazi-bola-trality

Wil’s tweet only makes sense if the reader understands what a GJ is and does. The GJ just decides whether there’s enough evidence to take a case to trial. Usually, as others here have noted, it is rare in a death-related case for a GJ NOT to indict. Thus, the accusations that McCullough and the PD were in cahoots to persuade the GJ to not send the case to trial.

It would be a far more productive analysis to look into the bolded above.
