Dude read your own article. You're making a molehill out of nothing. 1-2 wanting to bring higher charges while vast majority agreed to bring charges that are actually applicable =/= grand conspiracy by prosecutor to let cops of the hook.


Nothing in that article implies that the rest of the grand jurors were fine (or not fine) with the charges that were brought. Only that these two had issues with the conduct of the KY AG. Let's see if any more release statements, now that these two have.

What exactly is the jury tampering here, be specific?

First and foremost, jury tampering is a criminal offense that involves intentionally attempting to influence a jury in a criminal or civil proceeding or during a grand jury inquest.

Read my edit. The super majority agreeing with the prosecutors charges is enough for him to say 'jurors agreed' unless you're on the spectrum and want to split hairs with pointing to one or two people.

Grand juries do not need a unanimous decision from all members to indict, but it does need a supermajority of 2/3 or 3/4 agreement for an indictment (depending on the jurisdiction). Even though a grand jury may not choose to indict, a prosecutor may still bring the defendant to trial if she thinks she has a strong enough case. However, the grand jury proceedings are often a valuable test run for prosecutors in making the decision to bring the case.

That's not specific, that's the definition. What has this prosecutor done to tamper with the jury specifically?

If he says "From my experience as a prosecutor and based on the details of this case murder charges are not applicable here" and most jurors agreeing after seeing the evidence, do you think that's jury tampering?

This case of jury tampering by the state AG is about to explode.

Tl:dr Kentucky attorney general told jury not to consider charges on most of the officers then announced later to the public the jury didn't see fit to consider charges on other officers when jurors did but were instructed not to by same AG.

What an ethical failure. I do not think it would be a double jeopardy if the jurors were instructed to be part of a cover up?


I do not think it would be double jeopardy if a new grand jury OR the same grand jury passed down an indictment, because the officers were never in jeopardy in the first place.

We only have Cameron's statement that the jurors agreed. The statements released by the two jurors contradict that assertion. Now if the rest of the jurors come out and state that they did, in fact, agree with the AG, then you've got a valid point. Until then, you have the word of a man already shown to have misled the public about key parts of the case.

There were no grounds to prosecute a murder case. The AG saved everyone a lot of time and money.

LMAO, you're obtuse. They did AS THEY WERE INSTRUCTED, not "agreed with prosecutors."

You'd think this would be crystal, instead dipshits want to stir the pot with splitting of hairs not caring that what they're doing is actually enflaming tensions.

How would you know if he is black? How are you going to assume that man voted for Joe Biden?

the AG of Kentucky? I saw the press conference. you can also use a search engine

you’re the typical biden supporter blaming the black male. surely you want the AG locked up under one of the biden crime bill’s draconian provisions
