A grand jury has decided no felony crime was committed by the sheriff’s office or jailers in the treatment of Sandra Bland, a black woman who died in a south-east Texas county jail last summer.
Sandra Bland: suspicion and mistrust flourish amid official inconsistencies
But prosecutor Darrell Jorden said the Waller County grand jury on Monday reached no decision on whether the trooper who arrested 28-year-old Bland should face charges.
The grand jury will return in January to consider that.
The Chicago-area woman was pulled over on 10 July by a Texas state trooper for making an improper lane change. Dashcam video showed their interaction quickly became confrontational and she was arrested for assault.
Three days later, unable to raise about $500 bail, she was discovered dead in her cell. Relatives question the finding that she killed herself.
