A grand jury in St. Louis County could reportedly begin hearing evidence in the Michael Brown case on Wednesday.

The jury would decide whether to indict police officer Darren Wilson, who shot and killed Brown in Ferguson, Mo., last week.

The local police have yet to reveal much of the findings from their investigation into the death of Michael Brown. Last week, the police released a video that allegedly shows Brown robbing a convenience store.

An independent autopsy requested by Brown’s family found that the teen was shot at least six times. A source familiar with the county’s investigation told the Washington Post that Brown was shot multiple times.

  1. St. Louis grand jury. Evidence from the outstanding professionals of the Ferguson P.D. Angry, tense town. What could go wrong?

  2. Ferguson is requesting some surplus MIRVs, just in case.

  3. I just noticed that the 4 gunshot wounds were on the insideof Brown’s right arm. It would be difficult to shot someone on the inside of their arm unless they were expressing the Lotus position. More likely, Brown’s hands were in the air, consistent with the surrender position, which clearly exposes the inside arm. Comments?

  4. A Grand Jury will decide Wednesday whether to indict while the FBI is still finding witnesses who haven’t been interviewed? Has St. Louis County even interviewed the witnesses telling their stories on television?

  5. The Grand Jury will begin hearing evidence Wednesday. In cases like this, the Grand Jury will sit for quite a while.
