The St. Louis County prosecutor’s office is investigating reports of misconduct on the grand jury that will decide whether Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson should be indicted for shooting Michael Brown, the Washington Post reported.
Ed Magee, the spokesman for county prosecutor Robert McCulloch told the Post that “Twitter users” on Wednesday morning claimed that one of the jurors discussed the case with a friend.
“We are looking into the matter,” Magee said.
He confirmed to the Post that the prosecutor’s office saw a tweet from activist Shaun King with a screenshot of a tweet by a juror’s friend.
Within seconds of posting this, her friends told her to delete it and she did. It was screenshotted first. pic.twitter.com/b6kTf9p40h

Wow, I’m impressed.
I was wondering how they were planning to get everything dismissed. Now it all makes sense - jury dismissed for questionable behavior, case never gets re-opened.
Wow…spineless prosecutor won’t charge Wilson, so he’s going to make absolutely certain that the grand jury can’t either.
Meanwhile, one of the programs at my college has invited Mumia Abu-Jamal to speak to them. I can’t help but feeling that people are rather upset with the police right now.
They had better get their shit together down there. If they don’t look for more confrontations with the police. I suspect that the Department of Justice will have to step in and arrest this bastard on Civil Rights charges.
But that’s in a perfect world. In the real world, the prosecutor’s trying to get a mistrial from his own grand jury.
Paging Mr. Chief Justice Roberts… paging Mr. Chief Justice JOHN Roberts…
