They are notorious for getting things wrong. Here's an example from your link.

St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch is the prosecutor presenting evidence to the grand jurors.



A local report from three weeks ago says different. This is from a news organization that actually talked to McCulloch, and does so on a regular basis.

McCulloch said he won't be presenting the case to the grand jury himself. That will be the job of two assistant prosecutors, Kathi Alizadeh and Sheila Whirley. Alizadeh, who is white, is the homicide prosecutor on duty and has 27 years' experience. Whirley, who is black, has the grand jury assignment and has 18 years' experience.
