Grand Jury's "Rare" No Vote in Tamir Rice Shooting Points to Bigger Issue

The process of a grand jury indictment is largely mystifying to the average citizen. When the grand jury decided not to indict Cleveland police officers Timothy Loehmann and Frank Garmback in the shooting death of Tamir Rice, the process of the grand jury fell under the microscope. When news broke Wednesday that the grand jury never actually took a vote on the matter, according to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office, the purpose of a grand jury became more confounding.
