Fox News just mentioned that there may not be an announcement if the officer is found NG. Not sure of their source, caught just the end of story...

The grand jury isn't a trial, and can't find someone not guilty. They assess the evidence presented and determine if there is enough to charge someone with a crime or not.

Washington Post posted at 1:37 PM EST today that the decision would be publicized at a news conference later today. They said that the Grand Jury had made their decision.

Just playing the Devil's Advocate here...

But, in some cases, it's better for the officer to have the case go to trial and have that court find him justified in deadly force than it is for Grand Jury to return a no-bill.

Even if a No-Bill is returned, he could be indicted at any point afterward.

If it goes to trial, the Double Jeopardy rule of law protects him. (Except when the Feds demand a civil rights violation prosecution)

Yep, can't tell the difference between a celebration or a riot with that bunch.

But it will shift the focus off of his Executive Order on immigration, "right on time"...

There are no coincidences.

From what I've seen of the limited pics I've looked at of the "Protestors", there are a lot of white hippies/Occupy types amongst them. I think there's a good possibility that they may be in for a rude awakening if the thing goes bad, not from the poleece but from their fellow protestors. Talk about eating your own...

The thought crossed my mind more than once... let em go to trial and show the evidence says he is in the right..... Not sure thats the best, but its crossed my mind...

Of course if the evidence is obvious no wrong doing was done... why should he have to suffer a trial though either....

I'm looking out my office window at the Clayton Courthouse, and there are a throng of news folks standing around freezing. Much of the sidewalk has been barricaded off, and there is a giant NBC broadcast truck with its satelite dish all set to go.Fox News is just pulling up. With high winds and falling temps, we'll see how long folks stand around in this mess.

Jeff, he's going to be on trial for the rest of his life, wherever he goes.

I'm afraid that, even if he is tried in State Court, he will forever be tried in the liberal/black court of public opinion.
