Just as an anecdote, the old Grand Jury system in the US was actually conducted by private parties, including criminal prosecutions. It was only towards the end of the 19th century that we moved into the official public prosecutor model we have now.
ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) – African-American community leaders say they’re taking action to put justice back into the hands of black people. They say they will convene a black grand jury on January 3rd and 4th to look at the evidence in the Michael Brown shooting.
Those grand jury members will go over the evidence presented to the St. Louis County Grand Jury. They also say they will call Darren Wilson, County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch, Ferguson Mayor James Knowles and Governor Jay Nixon to testify.
“What it does is educates and informs our people that two bodies came together, examined the same set of evidence, and were able to come to different conclusions. Therefore, the only thing standing between us and our ability to carry out the will of the people is to change this relationship that exists between us and the armed state apparatus that controls us.” said Omali Ye ela of the African People’s Socialist Party.
Regardless of the decision made by this grand jury, it will have no legal bearing on the case.

It would be fun. I'd show up, strapped of course.
I hope they release their findings.
White on all counts. 20 years to life reparations.
Yeah, that's gonna be a fair hearing. Hopefully St. Louis gives these stupid s the finger and a very loud and specific YOU!said Omali Ye ela of the African People’s Socialist Party.
If he wants to be an "African Socialist" he should go to Somalia with the other starving African Socialists.
This seems unhelpful.
This new grand jury has not been convened yet, right? They already know, however, that there is going to be a different conclusion. Nice.What it does is educates and informs our people that two bodies came together, examined the same set of evidence, and were able to come to different conclusions.
Sounds legit.
