As always, the story Minneapolis residents are sharing is different from what ICE claims.
ICE agents violently restrained a woman in Minneapolis on Monday, dragging her through the snow and pinning her face down as onlookers shouted that the woman was pregnant.
During what was supposed to be a “targeted vehicle stop,” according to ICE officials, protesters swarmed the agents. Esme Murphy, a WCCO reporter, was on the scene, where she saw ICE holding a woman on the ground.
“Please let her go! She’s pregnant!” one onlooker shouted.
“Get her off of her fucking stomach,” another said.
Grand jury is simple majority so one person saying no doesn’t matter, and it’s for indictments only. A failed indictment isn’t an acquittal. They can try again with a different grand jury.
Petit juries do the trial, you need a uanimous verdict, even a 7/12 or a 11/12 “not guilty” vote is not an aquittal and the charges can be brought again and again forever (unless the judge dismisses it with prejudice).
Yes, but there are whole grand Juries in DC doing nullifications. Like the sandwich guy … that’s what I am hoping will happen.
