Here's the thing, they're not going to develop a case at all. This is why people are pissed off, Cops never ever ever ...ever face justice.

This is like waiting 70 days for the Taliban to develop a solid case against a combatant that just killed a US Soldier. It ain't happening!

There won't be any arrests and as usual the family will get a nice little multi million dollar settlement from the Tax Payers.

The system is utter and complete BULLSHIT!

You're forgetting that there could well be a Federal case, led by Holder, because of the pnwmom Aug 2014 #8

I'm not Holding out or giving in to wishful thinking 951-Riverside Aug 2014 #18

This case has gotten far more publicity. I doubt the Feds will try to sweep this one under the rug. pnwmom Aug 2014 #19

The Kelly Thomas beating got worldwide attention. 951-Riverside Aug 2014 #22

Then why arrange for a grand jury on Wednesday? sadoldgirl Aug 2014 #3

A grand jury can take months to develop a case. And who told you there couldn't be federal charges? pnwmom Aug 2014 #9

He said murder charges..... BronxBoy Aug 2014 #12

TBH it's not really important that he's arrested right away LittleBlue Aug 2014 #4

If your info is correct, yes indeed. randys1 Aug 2014 #5

I rec'd the OP, but I agree with you also. Not everyone has the patience of a saint. n/t nomorenomore08 Aug 2014 #21

Where did you get that 70-day limit? IIRC, OJ Simpson was not tried for murder until VanGoghRocks Aug 2014 #6

Each state has its own limit. I looked it up for Missouri, so I'll find it again. pnwmom Aug 2014 #10

also being out on bail as Simpson was makes a difference dsc Aug 2014 #11

Wait a second: OJ was never out on bail waiting for his trial on murder charges. He had a VanGoghRocks Aug 2014 #13

sorry I thought he had bail dsc Aug 2014 #16

Yeah, I probably should just shut up on this topic I think, b/c I'm blowing hot VanGoghRocks Aug 2014 #20

Ah, I stand corrected. I'm leaving my post up for thread integrity purposes but VanGoghRocks Aug 2014 #14

I realized my OP would be stronger if I added the info you asked about, so I did. Thanks! n/t pnwmom Aug 2014 #17

True but we need to hope the prosecutor is fired up on the case treestar Aug 2014 #7
