Heavily redacted grand jury documents released to the public lack context and do not fully portray the proceedings before the grand jury, the suit states. Doe complains that the investigation was supposed to focus on Wilson, the Ferguson police officer who shot and killed unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown. Instead, the juror says, the proceedings had a stronger focus on the victim than in other grand jury cases. The legal guidelines presented to the grand jury were muddled and untimely, the suit claims. The suit asks a judge to rule unconstitutional the Missouri law that criminalizes any of Does comments about serving on the grand jury and to prevent McCulloch from prosecuting Doe for speaking out.
