In the first three months of this year, the Davidson County grand jury declined to recommend indictments for 47 of the 654 cases it heard. That is more than 10 times the number of “no true bills” typically issued over such a span. Story: @connordaryani.bsky.social - ThreadSky

I can't believe this is my first post on bluesky but here we are. This is not just about me. I really wish you guys would mention the beautifully written appeal for restorative justice that is in this report.

And also keep in mind that 95% of the witnesses we talked to were police officers. Either presenting their own cases or criticizing the department. Every witness criticizing the department were former officers, some were high ranking. The call is coming from inside the house.

Absolutely. We wrote about it last week and were the first to do so.

I appreciate your jumping on that story. None of us jurors were insiders or attorneys, including me. That's the point of a grand jury. We thought it was a huge problem that grand juries have become rubber stamps of the police & DA. We did our due diligence. How is that unhealthy or a negative?

Feels like mentioning David Raybin is a former FOP lawyer who also defended the cop who killed Daniel Hambrick is important context for this story
