I thought it would've happened by now. Since they had the family go television telling protesters to not resort to violence, I assumed it was ready to go.
I'd like to think it will happen this weekend.
so when is it likely that they'll reach a verdict?
i hope no major or minor bloodshed comes from a potential negative ruling
Probably tomorrow, from what we've heard.
Announcement is tomorrow, based on what I saw on Twitter and CNN a couple of days ago. I'll see if I can find the source.
GJ doesn't reconvene until Monday.
Yeah. The electorate is either right or left and swing voters don't actually exist.
What?
And who said being in the middle of EVERY SINGLE ISSUE

"Verdict" is the wrong word.
It will be ""negative". I hope it's major.

Christmas Day. Bury it with holiday cheer and hopefully the media won't notice.Till when?
Welcome to the African American Experience.This has been one the most inefficient processes I have ever witnessed - as far as similar stories in developed countries are considered. How can it take so long to just put him on trial? I mean it should be a given when ever someone is killed but why does it take so long?

So did McColloch have a dream that he thought was real? That's happened to me before; it's perfectly understandable.For months, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert P. McCulloch has promised to seek a court order immediately releasing nearly all evidence before the grand jury in the Michael Brown shooting case if officer Darren Wilson is not indicted.
And he has said that the judge overseeing the grand jury, St. Louis County Circuit Judge Carolyn Whittington, already has agreed to order such release if requested.
But, with the grand jury's decision expected this week, the county court's top administrator on Sunday said no such agreement exists. He said Whittington has not agreed that she will release evidence in the the grand jury review of the Aug. 9 shooting death of the unarmed teenager by the Ferguson police officer.
[...]
McCulloch, who has been a target of critics in the handling of the case, has made clear in interviews that he is committed to taking the rare step of seeking a court order to release most of the testimony and physical evidence if there is no indictment. If Wilson is indicted, there would be a trial and evidence would be made public in the trial.
"There's no probably about it," McCulloch said to KTRS-AM host McGraw Milhaven on Sept. 24. "It will be released ... We've asked the judge to do that and the judge has agreed that she will do that. If there is no indictment, she will authorize the release of the testimony and the physical evidence that was presented to the grand jury.''

Court: Judge hasn't agreed to release Ferguson grand jury evidence if no indictment

So the court is saying they don't have an agreement and don't have to agree to release the evidence, which is a huge mistake.Court: Judge hasn't agreed to release Ferguson grand jury evidence if no indictment

One of the more disturbing things lately has been how prosecutors seem to have so little interest in bringing charges against police officers. You've got this guy, who just tossed everything over to the grand jury instead of making a case. Then you have the Walmart shooting prosecutor, who appeared to be 100% in agreement with that grand jury about not indicting those officers.
Somehow I just can't see them being so unmotivated if it were a normal citizen having shot and killed an unarmed person. If you don't think there should be charges, then don't bring up charges. These cases just seem to be public spectacles to mollify people's anger with no intention to hold anyone accountable from the start.
Interesting story from Utah. I'd make a thread but alas, Jr. Figure some of y'all might want to see it.
"Killings by Utah police outpacing gang, drug, child-abuse homicides"
"As the tally of fatal police shootings rises, law enforcement watchdogs say it is time to treat deadly force as a potentially serious public safety problem."
http://www.sltrib.com/news/1842489-155/killings-by-utah-police-outpacing-gang
Through October, 45 people had been killed by law enforcement officers in Utah since 2010, accounting for 15 percent of all homicides during that period.
What in the fuck? Jesus.

I want to make that thread but my reputation on gaf has been that of a race baiter. So either a 1 page thread or a 30 page one.
What in the fuck? Jesus.
I'm supposed to go to Ferguson for thanksgiving. I wish the GJ would get it over with so I know whether or not to bother. Not terribly keen on the idea of traveling to a war zone for the holidays.

Yeah, people need to realize that grand juries do nothing to add to the credibility of an indication or non-indication. All they can do is aid an investigation and help a prosecutor prepare his case.
A grand jury is not a substitute for a trial and any decision to indict or not is, for all practical purposes, the decision of the prosecutor.
From what I have read on Twitter, the hope and intent is to have the result before Thanksgiving and while kids are not in school.
Black Friday could get even crazier, then.
I didn't follow that case all that closely, but wasn't that more the fault of a false report than the officers' actions?
I can see it now on Fox news...
"It truly is...BLACK Friday"
