With the first grand jury gathering having taken place already [Nov. 12], special prosecutors have announced that the investigation into Sandra Bland’s alleged suicide is almost complete. Darrell Jordan, a Houston lawyer revealed that there was not enough information to come to a decision at the time, which they are still looking for, and plan to present to a grand jury in Dec., according to NBC.
“It would be helpful if we had the person who shot that video, if there were things that happened before the video recorded and after,” Jordan said about a second video of Bland’s arrest that surfaced.
Jordan and four other prosecutors were tapped by the Waller County district attorney to review the minimal evidence following the 28-year-old Black woman’s death.
