Not Just Yet

Yesterday's news papers brought us news that Special Prosecutor Lynn Grimshaw has proclaimed that the Tonia Amato case won't be going to the Grand Jury next week. And who can blame him? I think we were all hoping to see some news next week but Mr. Grimshaw has stated that he will take his time and leave no stone unturned.

Attorney Grimshaw was in the county last week meeting with various people that have been involved in this case from the beginning. According to what I read in the papers his mission on this trip was to determine if there was anything else that needed to be done. He also advised the press that there are "results of certain tests" being done by the Ohio BCI that could take a couple of months before they determine their findings. Neither paper advised what these tests were or if it was determined that anything additional needed to be accomplished.

Mentioning the BCI tests probably gives us a timeline of what to expect before we get any additional news or determinations. Mr. Grimshaw wants to make sure all the Ts are crossed and all the I's are dotted. (I can use cliches too!) Like I said who can blame him with all the twists and turns we've seen so far? I may be wrong but I still think there will be some surprises yet to come with this investigation.

Ole Nib,
I think Mr. Grimshaw is doing the right thing and I don't belive for one minute that he will jeopardize his reputation for anyone although the naysayers with suspicious minds think like that.

He seems like a very reputable person although I do hope he personally delves into the matter himself and not just go by word.

If they have proof they can call a grand jury anytime and issue an indictment. There is no need to hurry and miss something.

If Prosecutor Grimshaw is leaving no stone unturned, then why is it he has not contacted anyone from Tonia's family except for the parents? Something stinks about this investigation even with the new prosecutor!

lucy, just because you want to put in your two cents worth doesn't mean you have anything worth saying to the prosecutor.
I'm sure he'll know who needs interviewed in this case and it won't necessarily be every single family member who wants to have a say. It will be people who can shed light on the incident itself.

Lisa,

"Just me" is quite right that the prosecutor is not spending his time where there is no light to be shed. Further, that you are simply not aware that Mr. Grimshaw has spoken to family members other than the parents does not mean he hasn't.
