A grand jury did not find sufficient evidence to go to court. This doesn't mean no crime was committed, and certainly seems to indicate a hospital and the police failed miserably.

My mother-in-law sat on a Tuscaloosa County grand jury under the former DA.

He told the grand jury which cases to find true bills on and which cases to find no true bill on. My jaw hit the floor when she told me that and she said that they did exactly what he said to do. They use the GJ as political cover and the members of the GJ don't know that they don't have to do what he says.

The investigative unit here needs reform. I knew someone who worked it and left - went back to riding in a squad car - because he said that he had been told one too many times to quit pursuing leads that were heading toward places that certain people didn't want them to go. Simple fact is that you need a lawyer with you at all times: when you're filing charges and when you're accused.
