An Alternative to Grand Juries?
Letitia James, New York City Public Advocate, weighs in on the Eric Garner story, including what she says was not nearly enough information released to shed light on how the grand jury arrived at its decision. And Gloria Browne-Marshall, attorney and associate professor of constitutional law at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, continues to analyze the Eric Garner case, including the small amount of information released that the grand jury used to arrive at its vote not to indict the police officer involved in Garner's death.
