Fair trial/Free press: Grand juries


Here is a story about Timothy Davis, the retired Orlando police officer who prosecutors say shot his 22-year-old son. He was indicted yesterday by a grand jury on a charge of second-degree murder.

Davis, 47, was arrested on a charge of first-degree murder in the Oct. 1 death of Timothy Davis Jr.

Remember that grand-jury proceedings are closed, so it is unknown how the panel reached a conclusion.

Yet, also remember that the grand jury indictment is open as indicated in the first paragraph.
