"DOJ's Special Grand Jury Examines Uvalde School Shooting Response and Police Failures"

A special grand jury has been convened in Uvalde, Texas to investigate the law enforcement response to the 2022 massacre at Robb Elementary School, following a scathing Justice Department report detailing critical failures in leadership. The grand jury will spend at least six months reviewing evidence related to the mass shooting, which left 19 children and two teachers dead. Attorney General Merrick Garland delivered the report and met with victims' families, who are seeking accountability for the tragic events.

"Special Grand Jury Recommends Charging Lindsey Graham in Trump Case in Georgia"

A special grand jury in Georgia investigating alleged election interference in the 2020 presidential election by Donald Trump and his allies recommended indicting Trump, Senator Lindsey Graham, and 37 other individuals, according to a 26-page report made public by a judge. The report echoed the prosecutor's theory of the case, alleging a criminal conspiracy to subvert Joe Biden's election win in Georgia. The recommendations went beyond the charges pursued by the prosecutor, suggesting additional charges for 20 other people, including Trump campaign attorneys, former senators, and Trump allies. Graham denied any wrongdoing, calling the grand jury recommendation "troubling for the country."

Georgia Supreme Court Denies Trump's Attempt to Block Election Probe

The Georgia Supreme Court has unanimously rejected former President Donald Trump's petition to block an investigation into allegations of election interference in the 2020 election. Trump's attorneys had sought to disqualify the Fulton County District Attorney and quash the special grand jury's findings. The court ruled that Trump had not provided sufficient evidence to warrant intervention and criticized his decision to bypass lower courts. The petition filed in Fulton County Superior Court remains pending, and the district attorney is expected to announce charging decisions in the coming weeks.

Mother charged with neglect after child shoots teacher.

The mother of a 6-year-old who shot his first-grade teacher in Newport News, Virginia, in January has been indicted on charges of felony child neglect and recklessly leaving a firearm to endanger a child. The child will not be criminally charged. A lawsuit brought this month by the teacher alleges school administrators and the school board were aware of the student’s “history of random violence” and did not act proactively amid concerns over a firearm in the boy’s possession the day of the shooting. The circuit court has also asked to impanel a special grand jury to continue the investigation.
