In Reply to: RE: Do you think Peterson's case, being in the public's eye, has something to do with his being indicted? posted by Road Warrior on September 15, 2014 at 15:13:41
feelings, there is NO state desire to remove kids or put them up for adoption (or long term foster care). The goal is always to unite the family---- safely.
I honestly don't know the situation in Dallas. I think it's unusual not to have had one case. Sure, plea bargains are utilized, but not one case? Maybe something was wrong with that jury!
I'm surprised there were no child murders in that large a county over that much time. Maybe there were multiple grand juries?
Follow Ups:
For Dallas county at least, they run 4 Grand juries at a time. We were one of the Tuesd & Thur grand juries. There were also 2 serving on Mon &Wed.Could be other juries got more domestic violence cases.
Edit, change the Mon/Wed/Fri grand jury to Mon/Wed.

Our asst D.A (John Groh), who presented all of our daily cases, told us on day one we'd get the felony prostitution cases (among the many, many, other type cases we got). So it could well be the family violence unit's cases, that the State wanted prosecuted as felonies, went to an entirely different grand jury. I still feel that in all but the most egregious cases they were handled as a misdemeanor.
Altho the pay was crap ($35/day IIRC), I loved the experience (as well as the paid time off from my real job for jury leave!!).

"There were 17 abuse- and neglect-related deaths of youngsters in Dallas County in fiscal 2013, which ended last August. That was a 55 percent increase over the 11 reported for the previous fiscal year."
Sounds like Peterson is receiving proper attention, to me.
