A member of the grand jury who declined to file criminal charges against former Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown sued St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch Monday for the right to speak publicly about the proceedings.
The plaintiff, identified in court documents only as "Grand Juror Doe," has alleged First Amendment violations in a civil suit filed in federal court in St. Louis. According to the lawsuit, Doe wants to talk publicly about the experience of serving on a grand jury, the evidence and investigation that the plaintiff believes would educate the public and "to advocate for legislative change to the way grand juries are conducted in Missouri."
The investigation of Wilson, who fatally shot Brown on Aug. 9, "had a stronger focus on the victim than in other grand jury cases," the suit claims. The suit also claims the legal guidelines presented to jurors in applying facts of the case were "muddled" and "untimely" compared to other cases.
