CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) — St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch says the grand jury in the Michael Brown case is still meeting, and he is urging people to ignore what he calls “rank speculation” in social media.
McCulloch put out a statement Monday saying the time frame for a decision in the case is still mid- to late-November. Some reports have suggested specific dates for an announcement on whether charges will be filed against Darren Wilson, the Ferguson officer who shot and killed Brown on Aug. 9, citing alleged leaks of information.
McCulloch says his office will inform the public and the media once a decision is reached.
The shooting of Brown led to months of unrest. Many in the St. Louis area are expecting an escalation of protests after the grand jury announcement.
