First, Mel, I am sorry to hear about your nephews death. And Jane, I do not know if Oregon has the same state statute, but I hope so. You need only to google the State Statutes under "code of criminal procedure" for your state, and start researching. I suggest both you and Mel (for your respective matters) investigate to see if under the code in your state, you are allowed to inform a Grand Juror of an 'indictable act". Then research the method the code sets forth for properly drafting a verified (properly notarized) "criminal complaint affidavit" along with researching how an indictment document can be made "sufficient" to be prepared for the signature of a Grand Jury foreperson in the event that they do vote to indict the actor. (The D.A. cannot be counted on to provide either document. You must prepare them yourself, in pursuance of the code of criminal procedure's guidelines, but it is SIMPLE to draft them. (If I can figure it out, ANYONE can.) A District Attorney or State Prosecutor usually will withold any information needed for a Grand Jury to determine actual facts when a public servant is involved. Note I am not claiming that is the case in Mel's matter, I am only saying that in my observation, that is the case in almost ALL matters if a citizen ever gets past the baliffs. The only way to obtain justice when a public servant is a suspect in a complaint(unless the actor hacked off the D.A. in some manner) is to make sure that you are the person presenting the evidence to the Grand Jury, as they often are not given info which might lead to an indictment unless the D.A. wants it to happen. The D.A. can present whatever evidence they want unfortunately, and can get away with witholding information from the files if they so choose. Good luck to you, and God Bless.

The grand jury found the shooting to be justified. It was not. The system only works, when there's a DA that will implement the process fairly and honestly. Is there a DA that can do the job he/she was elected to do? I'm determined to clean up the grand jury process and/or abolish it from our American INjustice system. If someone can please help me get in touch with Gary Conner,I could use some guidance of how to go about this in Oregon. I'd really appreciate it.
