A police union lawyer said a Staten Island grand jury could vote as early as Wednesday on whether to bring charges in the case of Eric Garner, whose death in July from a police chokehold prompted protests and set off a citywide debate over policing tactics.

In the Garner case, Stuart London, the lawyer representing Officer Daniel Pantaleo, said late on Tuesday that the Staten Island district attorney, Daniel M. Donovan Jr., had not told him when the grand jury would vote on an indictment, but that it would quite likely come this week, possibly as early as Wednesday.

The grand jury is meeting again at 10 a.m. on Wednesday.
