Wow. Among the complaints in the lawsuit filed by Grand Juror Doe, the former juror accuses McCulloch of mischaracterizing the jurys view of the evidence and says that, as a result, the publics perception of the its views are not entirely accurate. Doe also wants to challenge the accuracy of public statements about the grand jury, especially the implication that all grand jurors believed that there was no support for any charges. Heavily-redacted grand jury documents released to the public lack context and do not fully portray the proceedings before the grand jury, the suit states. Doe complains that the investigation was supposed to focus on Wilson, the Ferguson police officer who shot and killed unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown. Instead, the juror says, the proceedings had a stronger focus on the victim than in other grand jury cases. The legal guidelines presented to the grand jury were muddled and untimely, the suit claims. The suit asks a judge to rule unconstitutional the Missouri law that criminalizes any of Does comments about serving on the grand jury and and to bar McCulloch from prosecuting Doe for speaking out.
