Hes a really quiet guy. He is just really wellmannered. He is very respectful. Reporter prosecutors say they could present their case to a grand jury as early as this week to determine if there will be charges. George. Thanks. Lets talk to the chief Legal Affairs anchor, dan abrams. This grand jury, when it meets, is going to get two very different stories they have to sort through. Thats right. Less than half of the cases in the county ever go to a grand jury. You dont have to take it to a grand jury, but this allows the prosecutor with these sort of warring narratives to say, i didnt make the decision. They did. The grand jurors did, the people did. But how vigorously the prosecutor presents this case is everything. Theres no defense attorney there. Its just the prosecutor presenting a case to the grand jurors. If the d. A. Wants an indictment, hell get an indictment. If the d. A. Doesnt want an indictment or has questions, that could be a very different thing. One key piece of evidence already out there is this autopsy. How critical is it . Absolutely crucial. The autopsy and ballistics to me are essential in this case. Why . Because if the weapon was fired from a distance, if these six shots were taken from far away and all of the bullets hit him in the front, thats going to be a very tough spot for the Police Officer to be in. If, however, this was fired at close range, the Police Officers going to say there was a struggle. We were fighting for the gun and so that becomes an absolutely essential question and, again, thats why its so important how the d. A. Presents this case to the grand jury. At the same time youve got the attorney general saying hell pursue a civil rights investigation on a parallel but separate track. I dont think this will turn into anything. This is a state case. Every time there is a controversial case the federal authorities come in and say were looking at it, were investigating, were on top of it and i believe that all to be the case. But the reality is, this is a state case. Thats where this case is going to be focused, and i think the feds are just watching very, very carefully. The state will go first. Absolutely. I dont think again, i dont think the feds will where the actions will be in the case. Thanks very much. Still so many questions. Now we turn to the crisis in iraq. President obama addressing the situation on monday saying u. S. Air strikes have helped iraqis score a big victory over isis. But the Extremist Group is not backing down as they renew threats against the u. S. Abcs jon karl is at the white house and the president says this military action against these islamic militants is a limited campaign. Could this be a sign of something larger . Reporter it sure could, lara. In fact, we have seen the campaign of air strikes in iraq increase significantly over the last few days. 35 air strikes in just 72 hours and while the president continues to promise very emphatically that there will be no Ground Troops introduced in iraq, yesterday he also said that he couldnt put an end date on this military operation. Really preparing americans for the possibility that this military campaign of air strikes, and air strikes only, could go on for a long time. No end date and then also these threats from isis to attack on american soil. What do you know about this . Reporter well, weve seen a lot of threats from isis increasing in recent days. We saw it not long ago. They threatened to raise the black flag of isis over the white house. Weve seen more specific threats. Just in the last several hours. This is really why the United States got involved because ultimately this terrorist group represents a threat to the west and a threat to the united state. , in fact, lara, this as you hear many intelligence analysts say, could be the most wellfunded, wellarmed terrorist group we have ever seen. All right, jon karl, thank you very much. We want to get to amy for the other top stories developing right now. Good morning, good morning, everyone.
