According to the prosecutor on the case, three grand jurors were African-American, one Hispanic, one Asian and seven white. There were eight women and 4 men. They did not want the Harris County District Attorney's Office to release the breakdown of their vote. Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson said that, “the grand jury's decision means they found that there was no probable cause to believe a crime was committed. It does not constitute an endorsement of the officer's actions." Anderson also states that at least nine of the twelve grand jurors had to determine there was probable cause that a crime had been committed, and that the jury's decision indicated that the evidence "was simply not there for a criminal charge, much less for a conviction of murder under the 'proof beyond a reasonable doubt' standard."
