(forbes) fox news reports the grand jury will hear from another witness on Wednesday, suggesting their work is ongoing, and it’s unclear if their work will wrap up then or continue until Friday, though Dienst said it’s likely more information could be known by Wednesday.

“what we don’t know

“how long it will take for Trump to be arrested. even if the jury does vote to indict Trump, he won’t be immediately arrested, as sources in the manhattan district attorney’s office noted to the new york times that they would still have to arrange the timing of Trump’s surrender to authorities, along with his travel to manhattan and other logistics. that could take a few days, and cnn reports Trump’s legal team doesn’t expect him to be arrested until next week. if he is arrested, Trump is expected to voluntarily surrender to the authorities and will be arraigned in manhattan, though it’s expected he would be immediately released on his own recognizance and would not be held in custody.”

GRA: Correct me if I’m wrong, but the prosecutor cannot overrule a grand jury’s decision of indictment? If true, it’s out of Bragg’s hands now.

N.S.: If a grand jury hands down a “clean bill” (indictment), then the da can’t overrule them, but what da would want to? After all, he empaneled the grand jury, in order to indict President Ham Sandwich.

Going in the other direction, a da (in new york county, certainly) can overrule a grand jury, if he considers the ham sandwich too small. That’s what manhattan da Robert Morgenthau did in 1985, in the Bernard Goetz case. Morgenthau wanted an indictment of Goetz for both illegal possession of a firearm, and for attempted murder of his four would-be robbers. Th first grand jury, however, only indicted Goetz for illegal possession of a firearm.

Morgenthau then took the unheard of step of sending the first grand juy hpome, and empaneling a second one. And before the second grand jury made its decision, Morgenthau, who went nowhere without an armed bodyguard, presided over a criminal conspiracy to suborn perjury and violate Goetz’ civil rights.

Although the four armed (screw driver) black thugs who had surrounded Goetz were obviously trying to rob him, Morgenthau’s deputies trained each thug to perjure himself on the witness stand, by asserting that he had never sought to rob the victim. (After the case was over, each publicly confessed that he had sought to rob Goetz.) Morgenthau’s deputies also leaked defamatory statements to the press, asserting that Goetz had shot one of the would-be robbers a second time, in order to poison the jury pool.

With Morgenthau’s crimes committed, the second grand jury game him what he wanted: Indictments of Goetz for illegal weapons possession and attempted murder.

Bernard Goetz was acquitted of attempted murder, but convicted of illegal possession of a firearm. He was sentenced to one year in prison, but was released after eight months. However, when released he was a broken man, in the way that a White man surrounded by racist blacks in prison, but who does not immediately join a White prison gang is broken.

A 2013 new york post “thing” by Laura Italiano, falsely asserted that Goetz had been charged with “murder.”

“A jury believed his account of having fired five shots at four black teenagers in self defense [sic] and cleared him of murder, assault and reckless endangerment.”

“Goetz hit on pretty cop who busted him for pot,” by Laura Italiano.

“The [first] grand jury indicted Goetz on three charges of illegal possession of a weapon, but refused to indict on the attempted murder charges or even reckless endangerment.

“Public opinion began to turn against Goetz in February with the publication of information concerning his racist views (including his use of the ‘n word’) and the words he admitted to using before permanently paralyzing Darrell Cabey: ‘You seem to be doing all right; here’s another.’ After the District Attorney’s Office was granted court permission to resubmit attempted murder and assault charges to a second grand jury, additional witnesses—including two of the four victims [sic]—testified. The D.A.’s efforts paid off, and the grand jury indicted Goetz on four [additional] counts of attempted murder, four counts of assault, and one count of reckless endangerment.”
