A day after Sandra Bland’s family blasted a Texas grand jury that later declined to bring charges in the Naperville woman’s death in a rural jail, a special prosecutor who investigated the case offered to answer any questions they have. The grand jury will return in January to consider that issue.

Meaning if Bradford is back, it will be because he wants to be, or the Eagles pay him enough that he has no choice but to stay. The Rams were 7-8 with a chance to win the NFC West in 2010, but lost 16-6 at Seattle in a winner-take-all battle in Week 17.
A dash cam video of the July 10 arrest fueled suspicions that Bland was mistreated. Authorities contend the stop became confrontational and a video of her arrest shows a state trooper kneeling on top of her as she is facedown on the ground.

Bland, an African American female, was found hanging in a jail cell by a plastic bag on Monday, July 13, 2015.
Bland’s relatives, along with supporters fueled by social media postings, questioned a medical examiner’s finding that Bland killed herself.
A lawyer for the Bland family, Cannon Lambert, said it isn’t clear what Jordan means by this.

Waller County denies any wrongdoing, saying Bland did not say she was having suicidal thoughts at the time of her two screenings, throughout the booking process or while detained.

“There are other issues the grand jury is still considering”, Jordan added, emphasizing that charges could still be pressed against the trooper who pulled Bland over. Indicting an officer is generally a rare act, but Bowling Green State University professor Philip Stinson, who receives federal funding to track police violence and arrests, told the Des Moines Register past year that there is no government or scholarly database that tracks the outcome of grand jury proceedings involving officers.
