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
