For those unfamiliar: the “grand jury” looked at all the evidence presented by the cops and ruled “no crime has been committed here, we don’t even need to have a trial (with a whole other trial jury) because we dont see any possibility of crime”
In addition, “grand juries” are notoriously easy for prosecutors influence and get an indictment (basically a go-ahead to proceed to a jury trial). The saying among defense attorneys is that grand juries are so easy to persuade, even a mildy competent prosecutor could get a grand jury to ‘indict a ham sandwich’.
So if they weren’t able to get it past a grand jury, they either had absolutely no case, screwed something up majorly in presentation, or these camera are extremely and universally unpopular.
Investigators, according to WKRC-TV in Cincinnati, identified Morelock after obtaining surveillance footage from other cameras near the scene as well as information linked to a credit card and a customer rewards account.
Sounds like they had enough evidence – I’m betting it’s the “universally unpopular” explanation.
People on here talk about doing some jury jullification if they every get selected, but I encourage everyone to go a step farther and research how they can apply to be on a grand jury in their local area.
lol at first i thought it was a regular trial jury deciding to aquit, but damn if a prosecutor can’t get a grand jury to indict, lmao.

There’s no defense presented at the grand jury, it’s just the prosecution presenting
Hence why defense lawyers despise it as a part of the process, because it predisposes the jury to believe that a crime was committed.

Oooh boy we are going to have a hissy fit from the ruling class.
