The Aug. 9 shooting death of the 18-year-old Brown by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson sparked months-long protests and unrest in the St. Louis suburb that captured the nation's attention. Attorney General Eric Holder visited Ferguson a little more than a week after the shooting to talk with city leaders and protest organizers.
At the time, he promised a thorough investigation into whether any federal civil rights laws had been violated in the shooting. There's a high legal bar the Justice Department must meet in order to press civil rights charges in the case. Separately, local officials are set to release the results of a grand jury investigation into possible criminal charges.
How are law enforcement agencies in the St. Louis area preparing for the release of these findings?
