How did the media screw that up so badly? Did one PIO tell them one thing, another PIO something different?

I think the media screwed up the wording... :twocents: I think they meant there were no current active searches.. meaning people out at a search site. :twocents:

When did the Grand Jury convene?

Sometimes I think the media just wants to get everyones panties in a bunch JMO, I prefer to hear things from LE, and right now they are not saying much of anything at all, most what they have said has pointed back at Lisas mom,according to what DB herself has stated in her interviews, I just hope Lisa is safe somewheres

Hopefully one of our legal eagles will come in and comment on this but my understanding is that a grand jury meets periodically through the year and things are brought before them - they are not specific to a case. In this case I think LE wanted the raw footage from the news and asked the "sitting" grand jury to supeona the footage. I don't think this grand jury was specifically meeting on this case.

Thanks...that makes sense...guess LE doesn't have enough to get a GJ yet?

Good question since all information had been that the grand jury had been postponed.

KCPD is correcting erroneous media reports. They ARE still looking for baby Lisa. Actively. Period. Full stop.

I believe the media who printed the other version totally took LE out of context-perhaps the question was "Are searches going on right now?" for example...to get the best, most sensational headline...just more BS...

 

[cluciano63]

I hope the parents are feeling very special and important, controlling the investigation of this poor baby's case via their lawyers...and most importantly, of course, taking charge of their rights...

That does make sense. A lawyer I am not. :innocent:

I don't think they screwed up the wording, I think "search" and "investigate" are two different things. They were still investigating, just not (as you stated), "actively" searching.

I'm sure Tim Miller is available...just sayin'.

 

[josie1986]

Fox news story re: Baby Lisa, what calling off the search means from LE. Coming up.

Whatttt?? i hope this info has come from LE and it means that they know where she is

Contrary to a recent blog post, KCPD is still actively searching for Lisa Irwin. Although we have not conducted a field search in a few days, we are still following up on tips and leads and actively investigating her disappearance.

Some grand juries are convened for a specific case--but in this case I agree it is more likely that a sitting grand jury was used to assist in the investigation, rather than to obtain an indictment against any particular defendant. I say this only because the grand jury was mentioned so early in the case and LE still appears to be at a loss for any evidence that would justify arresting anyone.

And:

The Kansas City Police Department is still actively searching for missing baby Lisa Irwin, authorities said Friday.

Police confirmed that their search is still active. This follows a media report that the police had called off active searches for the baby.

Well now that LE has cleared that up the family can come out and tell how they are hunting for Lisa. Oh, that won't be until the end of next week.:furious:

I am really starting to think when Deb and her sister in-law said they expect Deb to be arrested they really believed it and they know there is some serious evidence against Deb.

From the Clay County MO website
http://www.circuit7.net/jury/

Q: How long is the term of service?

A: GRAND JURY - Grand Jury is for the Term of Court. The Terms of Court are March, June, and November.

I think the grand jury serves an entire term, not just a specific case. But, I could be wrong
