Sen. Diane Savino, who has championed a bill that would create more transparency in
grand jury deliberations, told Gotham Gazette that items were dropped from the budget where consensus already existed to save time.
«After
deliberation on the evidence presented in this matter, the
grand jury found that there was no reasonable cause to vote an indictment,» Mr. Donovan said in a statement released to the press, after four months of presenting evidence and more than an hour of news reports that Mr. Pantaleo would face prosecution.
