all of the information that is collected will be turned over, will be submitted to the grand jury.
Now, some people assume that when a prosecutor says something is going to be turned over to a grand jury, that it means there's already been a decision, that there are particular suspects in mind, that somebody is going to be charged, that they are going to be aiming for someone to be charged.
But the district attorney in this case said
that that in fact is not now the case, that they do not at this point suspect yet that there has been criminal activity, that the investigation is unfolding, and that it is going to, all of the information is going to be submitted to a grand jury.
Here's my thought on this, Don.
We were talking a lot day before yesterday about public pressure in this case and about what
changes in a case like this when you have renounced civil rights attorney involved when you have independent autopsy and things like that involved it strikes me that this prosecutor may just be trying to get it out of her hands like she's not prepared to make the call on her own and say on her own say if she's prepared to say that there is no criminality or that no one should be charged that she doesn't want to take the hit for that and be blamed for that
and her office itself so they're pushing all of the information to a grand jury but maybe getting to the same conclusion because as i say to you all the time you can go to the green jury and indict a ham sandwich i mean we have friends right here on this damn panel who have been indicted in this calendar year where there was no freaking crime whatsoever so
prosecutors, when they want to get an indictment, can.
But in Mississippi, they go to the grand jury whether they're looking for an indictment or not.
The grand jury could say, we believe there's enough evidence for charges, and here's who's going to be charged.
The grand jury could say, we do not see enough evidence of probable cause for criminality.
Therefore, there shall be no charges.
Or at the end of the investigation,
The district attorney could say now that I have seen everything because the autopsies are not in yet.
The cell phone records have not been reviewed by both of them yet.
She could say, I want to go a little further in this investigation and then take it to the grand jury, depending on what the leads are.
Saying or not saying.
And so that's, that's why, you know, sometimes I granted I'm suspicious and cynical.
I've been in this game for way too long to not be both of those, but what can happen if a district attorney doesn't want to take the heat is they can fall back on process and say, okay, we've got everything that this investigation has yielded.
