Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch is being sued over the Michael Brown Case



This is about to get interesting.

A member of the grand jury is suing Robert McCulloch for mishandling the grand jury process. Interesting, to say the least.

HuffPo reports:

The still-anonymous grand juror, referred to only as "Grand Juror Doe" in the lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri, believes that his or her voice "could contribute to the current public dialogue concerning race relations" in the country. The grand juror believes that the Wilson case was handled much differently than the hundreds of other cases presented to the grand jury before the Wilson case.

"From Plaintiff's perspective, the presentation of evidence to the grand jury investigating Wilson differed markedly and in significant ways from how evidence was presented in the hundreds of matters presented to the grand jury earlier in its term," the lawsuit stated. The grand juror believes that the portrayal of the case in the media has not been accurate.

"In Plaintiff's view, the current information available about the grand jurors' views is not entirely accurate -- especially the implication that all grand jurors believed that there was no support for any charges," the lawsuit stated. "Moreover, the public characterization of the grand jurors' view of witnesses and evidence does not accord with Plaintiff's own."

The ACLU said the "life-time gag order" against grand jurors in the case is not fair in the Wilson case because of the extraordinary publicity Brown's death received and the strange way the case was presented.


I am hoping this moves into a new trial. Robert and Darren should be held accountable.

Unbelievable! Michael Brown Grand Jury under review for Misconduct


Foolishness alert!

As a Grand jury looks into the Michael Brown murder case, this mess happened on Twitter


Huffpo reports:
Officials in St. Louis County, Missouri, said they are “looking into” allegations of misconduct on the grand jury hearing the case against Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson, who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown in August.

The county prosecutor's office received information Wednesday morning suggesting that a juror may have discussed evidence in the case with a friend, office spokesman Ed Magee told The Washington Post.

At 9:45 a.m. Wednesday, a woman with the Twitter handle @thesusannichols tweeted, “I know someone sitting on the grand jury of this case There isn’t enough at this point to warrant an arrest,” according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Her account was deleted and now, more questions have emerged.

If this is true, there will be more unrest. Hopefully, the Feds take this case.
