Petition for Grand Juries

Regarding the indictments that will go before the Governors, I petition the Governor of Buxton to establish a Grand Jury for Darren Wilson, Michael Slager, and the Six Officers responsible for the death of Freddie Gray.

The Grand Jury should be presented all available evidence and left to make a statement regarding their views of Indictment or not towards the officers, and then the Governor should find value in the statement of the Grand Jury before the Governor makes the final decision.

In the interests of Justice, these decisions should not be made swiftly and without debate amongst Jurors who should present before the governor.

That sounds good; currently only the Governor has to agree to have an indictment but there's nothing that says he can't establish a grand jury to advise himself.

I support the grand jury process to ensure that deliberative and fair justice is reached in these cases. We do not want a race to judgment or a miscarriage of justice here. We shouldn't allow the fact that there are protesters demanding a certain outcome to sway our determination in upholding the rule of law and the rights of both the accused and the victims.

I support this. Though I have a few questions, are we just going to pretend there is a grand jury or do you want me to RP this and actually appoint people? If that's the case would you like me to do it in a separate post or in this forum?

I think it should be decided by the Governor.
