Officials have not pegged a specific date but the have said that the decision on officer Darren Wilson should come by the end of the month at the latest.
The grand jury’s decision could literally come any day now as some believed that it would come through last weekend.
St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch said his office will give a 24-hour notice if a decision is expected to be announced during a weekend, and a three-hour notice if the decision is handed down on a weekday. He confirmed that a decision should come any day now.
Tension in Ferguson has been fueled be leaks suggesting that the grand jury may have already made a decision before hearing all of the evidence, although McCulloch has said that such a notion is “rank speculation” and that the jury was still hearing evidence.
Wilson testified before the grand jury in September, and the jury has heard from a host of others including New York City Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Michael Baden, who performed an autopsy on Brown at the request of Brown’s family.
His autopsy and the official autopsy appeared to differ on one key point--“Baden said there was no gunpowder residue on Brown’s body, indicating he was not shot at close range, though he said at the time he wasn’t given access to Brown’s clothing and the residue could be there,” explained Fox News.
The official autopsy showed that one wound, to Brown’s thumb, was at close range.
Wilson told investigators that he felt threatened while fighting with Brown inside a police SUV, where an initial gunshot was reportedly fired. Wilson said that Brown scratched and punched him multiple times.
Baden’s autopsy showed that Brown was shot at least six times, with the one to the head killing him.
