Cop Shoots PS3 Thief Update

For those that didn't read the original article check it out here first.

The grand jury foreman told a court Tuesday that he checked the wrong box on the indictment form by mistake, according to an order signed Tuesday by Superior Court Judge Ernest Fullwood.

The foreman learned about the mistake after other jury members heard about it from media reports.

A copy of the indictment filed as evidence Tuesday shows a check next to "true bill" indictment, with a heavy mark made through "not a true bill," followed by what appears to be the foreman's initials and Tuesday's date.

When a grand jury wants a murder indictment, it returns a "true bill." When it decides it does not want to issue an indictment, it returns "not a true bill."

"It was the kind of mistake you and I make in the world of forms," said Long's attorney, Mike McGuinness. "We check the wrong boxes."

This is so sketchy, and again a police officer gets away with murdering an unarmed person and no one is doing anything about it. Clerical error my ass. I'd check into what the foreman's relation with Deputy Long is, because something seems shady. A Grand Jury doesn't randomly make a mistake with checking a box, especially when they only have two options, fry him or don't fry him. You'd assume they would check and double check prior to putting pen to paper on that one.

Now I'm not a fan of vigilante justice, but I can honestly say I do not know what I would do being the father here. Let Long bless his lucky stars that I am not, because I'm fairly certain he wouldn't be going home to his nice warm bed and kissing his wife goodnight.
