If they are considering presenting this to a grand jury, they likely do not want to release much prior to that happening.
Jury members are supposed to assess the testimony of a witness, not the published reports ahead of time.
The smaller the population, the harder it is to get untainted grand jury members. But wouldn't the grand jury get to see the police report anyway? Never prior to testimony. Witnesses testify first. Also likely to have some expert witnesses prepare assessments, which can take a while. Very likely there is some type of district or states attorney involved in this investigation, with their own investigators. They would control the dissemination of info at this point.

Prior to testimony or whenever, the GJ is gonna see it.
And whatever it says, is gonna be what it says now.
So why not publish it NOW?
I agree with you that some person has the authority to control the distribution of the reports.
I'm trying to figure out why that person hasn't done that, in light of the controversy it's causing.
Seems it would benefit the community, either way.

Troll posts are evidently more important than this rancher's death.

MSM is sure laying low on this rather IMPORTANT story.

I doubt there's much more to report until the investigation is completed, and the information contained in it is released.

Did you see the families statements? If this pans out those cops need to go away for a LONG time. http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/article43654638.html

The Idaho Statesman is a pretty squared away and ethical publication. ...Wondering if the byline Steely links will get ink in the larger metropolitan rags and fish wraps.
....this has stunk from the get go, and indeed is getting worse by the day.

I hope both cops are put in jail a long time for this if the family story proves to be true

GTC Greg, Regarding the Idaho Statesman and using the term "squared away." They have become increasingly a liberal rag and they've worn out my tolerance for them with their slant and liberal positions. They've even imported a Calikookistan editor. We only get a weekend paper and that's only because the wife wants the ads and the coupons. They're going to be told to take a hike once the Christmas season is done. That said, I have not had an issue with the accuracy of their reporting. It's probably not the paper you remember.

It will be interesting to learn where those deputies came from.
Earlier, it was mentioned that they all had ranch backgrounds.
Well, I don't have a ranch background, but I know enough not to gut shoot a bull to put it down.

The family's witness report is pretty damming. I'll be surprised if those cops don't get charged with murder.

Yes, what Bob said is increasingly true.
The Statesman puts a pretty liberal slant on everything they write. Fortunately, in this case, they had to yield to pressure from social media and multiple eye witness accounts.

If anyone stated that the deputies had local or even rural origins, it was unfounded supposition.
Even the Sheriff of Adams County has only resided in the county for a handful of years.

Even the Sheriff of Adams County has only resided in the county for a handful of years. So exactly, what is a handful of years in Idaho? In Wyoming its 10-20yrs. Outsiders don't get to decide when they're actually a resident in many Wyoming counties. So why doesn't this Idaho county have residents as law enforcement?

The Sheriff's history was included early in this thread and has been mentioned in many reports. Without searching through this entire thread I think he has lived in the area about 12 years.
Most of the local kids either grow up to work on and continue the family ranch, in logging, or if they want to make more than 30-40 K per year, they move to populous areas.
I think one of the earlier posts did include the median income for the county.
It is not unusual around here for families to subsist on a $2000/month full time employment wage. The majority of jobs around here pay nowhere near $12/hour. But families get by working overtime or sometimes two jobs. I have known quite a few guys who worked day shift with us at the factory 40hr/week and then worked swing shift somewhere else for 40 hr/week.
Do a bit of research on the pay scale for our local deputies and rural "city" police forces.
Would you wear a badge for those wages?
