juror could say without giving away a lot of the details of what went on. Given the amount of "details" that the McCullough has revealed about it would make is a farce to not allow memebers of the GJ panel the right to speak out about it. Even making a public statement that he/she would be receptive to being subpoened by the DOJ for the purpose of their investigation would make a huge statement without spilling the beans.

They key thing about the law is that it is supposed to prevent the GJ members from talking about the details of the evidence provided during the process. If there was a real divide on the panel I don't see why any of them could not say that X number of the people on the panel thought that Wilson committed a crime. If I remember correctly, it took a minimum of 9 to vote to prosecute. It would be nice to know what the vote count was on each of the potential charges. McCullough has been selling it like it was pretty unanimous no to indict Wilson but we really don't know that because of the gag rule. Given how much his office rigged the whole process, I would like to know what were the actual votes.
