Channel 2 investigation found that:

• Not a single fatal police shooting since 2010 has gone to trial.
• Two-thirds of police shooting cases never went to a grand jury because district attorneys used their discretion not to bring charges.
• Of 48 cases that went to a grand jury, only nine involved the presentation of a criminal indictment. In the rest, the prosecutor simply asked the grand jury to determine if the shooting was justified or unjustified.
