Almost as if they knew they had a compliant gj. nt msanthrope Nov 2014 #3

The GJ had already started hearing evidence in the case SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2014 #19

listen to people complain about stonewalling or delaying? Erich Bloodaxe BSN Nov 2014 #32

I'm talking about people complaining about how long it would take to start the case SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2014 #34

I don't think they would have had more to complain about than they did with this one. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Nov 2014 #35

You're certainly entitled to your opinion n/t SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2014 #38

Was the decision unanimous? nt kelliekat44 Nov 2014 #53

To be fair, it's quite possible that at least one of those white men and/or women voted to indict. Tommy_Carcetti Nov 2014 #4

Nobody could have forseen that! hunter Nov 2014 #5

Do you know what the vote was or who voted what way? I don't! doc03 Nov 2014 #6

So what was the final vote? Did all three AA vote to indict? nt hack89 Nov 2014 #7

That's the inference. Igel Nov 2014 #8

A post above said 840high Nov 2014 #24

I have always envisioned jury of your peers to apply to accused joeglow3 Nov 2014 #46

No, DU hasn't gone insane.. just reacting to an insane decision. Cha Nov 2014 #29

Yes, your 20 days and <100 posts make you an expert on DU. (nt) jeff47 Nov 2014 #39
