This vague line in Judge McBurney’s ruling on the limited release of the Georgia grand jury report could be an important sign of what’s ahead. (via Deadline: Legal Blog)
To be clear, we don't yet have to temper expectations about the investigation itself. Indeed, Willis claims she wants to keep certain details secret to protect future defendants’ rights. This suggests she still is planning to bring charges, and doesn’t want those charges to get messed up by prematurely releasing information.
But with all of that said, I keep pausing over part of a line in Judge McBurney’s ruling on the limited release, where he concedes that publication of these three parts of the report “may not be convenient for the pacing of the District Attorney’s investigation.” It’s hard to know what that means, exactly. But it arguably undermines the idea that we aren’t going to learn much on Thursday.
We'll find out more about the report's"convenience" on Thursday.
