GRAND JURY TO REVIEW SHOOTING DEATH OF JAMES SCURLOCK NEXT WEEK

OMAHA- A grand jury has been called to investigated whether charges will be brought against Jake Gardner after he shot and killed a protester, James Scurlock, on May 30. The jury will be under guidance of special prosecutor Fred Franklin III. The Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine previously decided to not bring charges against Gardner saying he shot in self defense. Kleine is not afraid of having a grand jury review his decision. 

40 Douglas County residents will be notified with the pool eventually winnowed down to 16 grand jurors and 3 alternates. It takes at least 12 jurors to indict. If Gardner is indicted by the jury he will then be tried in the Douglas County District Court.
