The case of Officer Darren Wilson is currently being reviewed for charges by a grand jury. Friday, rumors were rampant that a decision was imminent — even though St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch said Tuesday that the grand jury wouldn't be finished until "mid-to-late November."
McCulloch's office did not respond to requests for comment Friday and no official source would clarify to BuzzFeed News — or, apparently, anyone — when exactly the grand jury decision would be ready.
The St. Louis County Police Department also told BuzzFeed News it had not issued warnings or advisories to area businesses about potential protests, as some rumors suggested. A document purporting to be from security contractor ADM also circulated Friday, and claimed a decision would be released Monday. However, when contacted by BuzzFeed News Friday evening, the company said it wasn't responsible for the document and had no involvement in Ferguson.
