The following statement was released this afternoon by the DA's office.
"A Criminal Grand Jury was convened on February 28, 2019, to address the stabbing death of David Josiah Lawson. The jury received testimony from 25 witnesses, including experts in forensics and DNA. By law, the process included the opportunity for the Grand Jury to subpoena evidence and witnesses."
"On March 13, the Grand Jury declined to indict any person in the stabbing death of David Josiah Lawson. Therefore, no charges will be filed in the case. The District Attorney has notified Mr. Lawson’s family of this outcome."
I have contacted District Attorney Maggie Fleming with some questions.
April 2019 will be two years since Lawson was stabbed. I am not going to link all the posts on this case; there has beem extensive coverage on this blog and can be accessed via the search feature

I don't think this is a surprise. It's interesting that Ms. Fleming convened a Grand Jury; has she done that before? There's a well-known saying, a DA can get a Grand Jury to indict a ham sandwich. So the two takes are, there was not enough evidence to indict, or, it's a CYA by Me. Fleming because she's part of the racist system.
