“The grand jury’s deliberations concluded around lunchtime on Monday. It would have been simple to make the announcement while it was still daytime. Still, McCulloch said that he would not announce the grand jury’s decision until 8 p.m. CT.”

A grand jury hearing was used as a substitute for a trial the DA didn’t want to have. The DA did that so he could position himself as the sole determinant in the outcome, and didn’t have to withstand the rigors of a real trial by jury. And the world is supposed to respect that as justice.
