Ferguson grand juror files lawsuit to remove gag order

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- St. Louis County, Missouri, prosecutor Robert McCulloch is being sued for the right to speak publicly by a grand jury member in the Ferguson police shooting case that sparked nationwide protests.

A grand jury member, identified only as "grand juror Doe," hinted that he or she may have voted to criminally indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown.

The grand juror called the prosecutor's case "muddled and untimely."

The suit was filed Monday with the grand juror represented by the Missouri chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.

[EDITORIAL COMMENT:- Making a wild guess here, I'd say that the juror is more concerned about protecting themselves from reprisals arising from the failure to indict than they are about "protecting freedom of speech". Without a doubt the juror will tell the world that THEY were in favour of issuing an indictment if they are allowed to speak out.]

My favourite judicial response to an asinine legal motion was (and still is) "Piffle.".

Another person trying to make money. He or she wants to secured there future. If that person wasn't happy with the GAG order could've walk away before going further.

Actually, I seriously doubt this juror had the opportunity to walk away before the gag order was put in place.
