Dennis Ward doesn't control the Grand Jury. It was the decision of a citizen's Grand Jury that decided the charges. Why there are only two charges I certainly wonder about, but Ward had nothing to do with that. Grand Jury testimony is secret and none of you armchair whiners know what went on or what else may come out of the grand jury. Ward didn't decide the charges, the grand jury did. How dense are you people?

Isn't recieving stolen property a crime anymore?

The state has to prove all elements of the crime.

Most crimes have multiple elements and the state has to prove all the elements. For example, many crimes have an intent element. If a person did not have an intent to commmit the crime, like not knowing the item they bought was stolen, then no crime happened and no crime can be proven. If someone had good reason to know that the item they were being offered was stolen, then they could be charged and possibily convicted. In the instant situation, proving intent is not likely.

It is, but you have to know or suspect it was stolen. I believe it can be hard to prove so they probably will not pursue it. By the way, this morning there were two other comments on this article about the election and bubba privilege, so what happened?
