Transcripts Show Grand Jurors Dismissed for Disagreeing With Case Against ‘Broadview Six’

“I said I want to go in front of the Thursday grand jury because I know you and I trust you, and you know me and you trust me, and I would never ask you to charge somebody if I didn’t think there was probable cause,” Mecklenburg told the grand jury. “And you know you’ve asked me before, ‘Well, what about this person?’ And I said, ‘I don’t charge people unless I’m absolutely sure.’”

With that, Mecklenburg introduced the case against a group of Democratic activists, local elected officials and candidates that would come to be known as the “Broadview Six.”

Not long into the presentation, however, one grand juror made clear their feelings on having to hear the same case again.

“I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of s— then and I still think it is,” the grand juror said.

You cannot trust the department of justice. Also they are not supposed to show evidence ahead of the trial in order to not taint juries. Blanche has been called out for this.
