First Slice 10-30-15: Grand jury recommends no charges for police shooting deaths

A DeKalb County grand jury says that more information is needed about the police shooting death of unarmed veteran Anthony Hill. The group was unable to reach a consensus about an indictment, and it recommended conducting follow-up interviews with officers on the scene. In a separate case, another civil grand jury recommended that the district attorney not pursue an indictment against the officer who shot and killed Kevin Davis. These jury findings are non-binding; the district attorney may choose to ignore the decisions.
