Legal experts.....is it possible for the Grand Jury results to be known to DHS and Governor Nixon...

[Logical]

already?

Or is it sealed before being released?

1. I don't think you need a legal expert to weigh in.

As 'leaky' as this farce has been, it's entirely possible that they got 'leaks' in advance, without having to worry about the legality of such.

2. I have no idea, but I would not be surprised on claims of national security and

all of that.

3. They are already prepared for riots, so I would imagine there is a reason for that

4. FBI is warning of Violence

So with the National Guard called out, and the FBI warning of violence, I'm betting that the PTB know the outcome, and it's not good for those interested in justice.

5. Any number of people may strongly suspect the outcome for any number of reasons, but until

the grand jury returns a true bill or no bill, no one knows.

The DA may sense the direction, based on the types of questions. There may be other leaks or indications, but the grand jury is on its own schedule and its outcome is not known until the final vote.

6. Thanks for the answer. Nt

7. I'm worried about violence no matter what the results

If Wilson is not indicted, people who are fed up with the police violence will have demonstrations and the police, especially in Ferguson, have proven how willing they are to commit violence against peaceful protestors. Remember how many offenses were committed by police against the Occupy protestors, even when they were doing NOTHING to warrant police action.

If Wilson is indicted, white supremacy groups will use it as an excuse to commit violence against minorities. Actually, the white supremacy groups will use either result to commit violence, with or without the assistance of the police.

After watching the original protests in Ferguson and how hard the community leaders tried to keep the protests non-violent, then seeing the over reactions of the police, I am very worried for the people in our minority communities.

I'm glad I don't live in any town and am far enough from any urban area to stay free of violence.

8. I heard that police departments in all major cities have been notified that they will get results

first. They're on some kind of speed dial I guess. Gotta wonder why they did that....?
