http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/08/19/some-steubenville-scumbucket-rape-freaks-may-escape-justice/The grand jury has recessed again, and is sending different signals than before:
"A key issue before the grand jury is whether adults who are required to report crimes knew early on about the rape last August but didnt say anything.
Past releases have spoken about the need for more investigation, or have given a return date. This one does neither. Instead, it sounds like a note that a deliberating jury sends out to a judge, a day or so before returning with an acquittal."

There was an interesting overview article in the New Yorker last week. Check it out for a less hair-on-fire perspective:
