In the grand jury, March 29-June 10
The other two cases presented to the grand jury involved the same police officer, Patrolman John McInerney, who had shot and killed Lloyd Hobbs, a sixteen-year-old Black boy, during the disorder. He was the only police officer prosecuted as a result of the disorder. The grand jury heard evidence about the shooting for the first time on April 10, voting to dismiss the case. The case was resubmitted to the grand jury on June 10, after additional witnesses testified at a public hearing of the MCCH. The all-white grand jury again voted to dismiss the case.
