Rumors swirl about whether investigation into Michael Brown shooting is complete

St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch attempted to clear up the confusion Wednesday after a tweet from CNN prompted many questions. McCulloch said the investigation is almost done.

investigation may be complete but the GJ may not be . . . ARGH I hate the media

As well as any good attorney should be.

Actually, the appropriate thing for the prosecutor to do is follow the law.

Yeah, I can see that scenario & trying to move the GJ to St Clair/Madison County IL (probably State laws prevent this) but in reality this case would be changed to a venue even more "white" than StL County here in the weird state of MO. I'm sure City of StL has a GJ process/forum & could hear it but there are so many open murder cases in the City right now, pfft -- does this venue have time?

Yep -- local radio is talking about the Twitter feed - no set back, no anything thing but another unfounded Tweet out there

Such a circus -- I love Stream may be voted in just "because"; man, I must get out of here & soon -- I am thankful where my house is the area is booming but was carp 20 yrs ago

Impossible to move it to Illinois. The problem, if there is one, in this instance has nothing to do with venue. It has to do with a juror running their mouth, if it's true. The only fix for that, unfortunately, is sequestering the GJ, not a different venue. Even if the physical location is moved to say St. Charles County or Jefferson County or Franklin County or Cape Girardeau County, they'd probably still pull the jurors from St. Louis County.

I think those are McCulloch's words. He probably should have chosen better words. As in, we don't foresee any setbacks, not that there is no setback as if he'd already pre-determined that.

I totally agree ! but nothing is more diverse than StL County unless they move it west toward KCMO

For those who missed it earlier, McCulloch very clearly said today as did LE agencies that the investigation and report are not yet complete, in addition to the grand jury still reviewing evidence. CNN just jumped to complete from "basically complete" statement Magee made.


Prosecutor Bob McCulloch says that no police report has been filed yet regarding shooting of Michael Brown - says PD still collecting info

St. Louis Co PD say investigation not done, report not done & report won't be made available until after case closed (no indictment/trial)

Stlpublicradio has the audio of the interview with McCulloch today, in case it helps.

I see what ya did there :giggle:

Impound a new grand jury :hilarious:

 

[Lovejac]

OMG! Camera dude just said Darren Wilson was fired by Jennings police department. :lol:

 

[SStarr33]

I see what ya did there :giggle:

Impound a new grand jury :hilarious:

Good catch, lolololol.

Worst. Attorney. Evah.

IMO, of course

watch -- I'm watching radar as I70 (the line of the storm) is 10 miles north of me -- it's still 86 degrees here by the Bud Brewery & way windy

Already did a dandy storm north and west of you! LOL

Good to hear about using alternates on grand juries as well. I truly hope they did they did so here. If so, the only question is (and that's even assuming there is legitimacy to the tweet) is did that one juror taint the others.

To give credence to that post is to give it life. I chose to ignore.

Because of the threats and protestors I was think more along the lines of a Federal Grand Jury. Not sure they can do that but it would solve a lot of problems.

Please point to where I said the prosecutor shouldn't. Did Crump use a wrong word? Yes. Does the Judge and not DA empanel a GJ? Yes. Is there apparently an option of continuing without an excused juror or to empanel a new GJ? Apparently. Given the nature of that tweet, again assuming it's legitimate, then hell yes Crump should be calling for a new GJ and it would be negligent of him to not do so. I detest Crump but I can recognize that it is simply lawyering.

Now camera man and protesters are talking about gay weddings and making wedding cakes for gay people.

This guy is all over the place.

IMO, a good attorney would want to follow the law.

Period.
