A Grand Jury has decided that no one will be indicted in relation to the death of Sandra Bland. Sandra was found dead in a jail cell this summer.
The suburban Chicago woman was driving this summer when Texas tropper Brian Encinia pulled her over for a traffic stop. Things escalated and she found herself in the Waller County Jail. After three days she was found dead in the cell, reports say she hung herself.
The Jury’s decision came hours after a family press conference seemed confident with the proceedings.
ABC7Chicago reported that:
This is the third time the grand jury has met with five appointed special prosecutors to review evidence. It’s not the job of special prosecutors to make any recommendations.
“We got the information probably in September, so we’ve been doing a lot of meetings, a lot of review of the information during that time,” special prosecutor Lewis White said earlier Monday.
The process has been difficult for Bland’s family.
“That’s what’s the hardest about this process, going through this Christmas season, yet again.
We just passed Thanksgiving, and now we’re about to go Christmas, Sandy’s not here.
And more than that, we still don’t have answers,” Reed-Veal said.
The Jury will reconvene on January 6th to discuss other related misdemeanors.
