The St. Louis County Grand Jury session that considered potential charges on a Police officer was the strangest, most odd, out of the norm I have ever heard this much about in the US. 1. Grand Jury meetings and the evidence contained there in are secret. This one was not secret. 2. Grand Juries spend about a day or three considering the most serious murder charges. This one took months. 3. The burden of proof to be indicted is an extremely low probable cause. Grand Juries probably indict on some charge 99% of the time. Grand Juries can indict a Ham Sandwich. As a defense attorney, I say there is almost no way the officer is or would be found guilty by a jury of his peers but I find it way out of the norm that he wasnt indicted and forced to face the demoralizing, extremely stressful, bankrupting, character testing, character revealing, truth bearing, soul searching tests and total hell of a criminal trial.
