How does it go to trial without a Grand Jury? I think it's fundamental American right to have a Grand Jury to determine if there is enough evidence to go to trial. Without a GJ, there is no trial.

Grand juries are a Federal requirement, not a State requirement. They aren't even used in over half the States.

It means he won't see the gas chamber, ie no Murder I.

I expect either manslaughter or no charges at all, followed by multiple civil suits.

The announcement means the decision on charges now rests solely with Corey, who had a reputation for not presenting cases before grand juries if it wasn't required.

Makes sense, I suppose, but the headline fits into the "Florida Doesn't Care About Black People" mold too well for the media to resist.

When he gets put into a cell I will make a "lets all point and laugh at Cabby thread." I predict most of you will not really care about the topic but will still participate enthusiastically in this fun loving and long overdue Official Outpost Event.

Yep. We are still stuck at square one waiting to hear if there is anything that hasn't been leaked. Then the Civil trial.
