Okay, same scenario: Guy with Down's Syndrome refuses to leave the movie theater. I am the owner. Only I don't call the cops. I decide to handle it myself. I get into a struggle with the Down's Syndrome guy and I kill him by "accident".
Do you think that I will get a Grand Jury and they will decide I don't need to go to trial?
HELL NO.
And it would have been "my job" I was doing in my own business. So how come when I do "my job" I end up on trial for murder. But the cops SEEM to be above the law?
That's the question.
And the easiest and correct thing to do in a "free" country is to immediately release the entire transcripts of all the evidence and testimony that was used in the Grand Jury after they have reached their decision.
All of this "Secret" stuff is what is causing people to not trust the entire system. (and rightfully so)

I don't want to argue the point, I don't know anything about the case. My comment was just about the grand jury, and the grand jury's only job is to look at all evidence and advise if it should go to the District Attorney for further action.
However the District Attorney is the one presenting the case with whatever "tilt" he choses to the grand jury. Which BTW is made up of the same pool of people that provide trial jurors. Everyday citizens.
