7-27-16  Court documents show that Bianchi appeared before a grand jury July 7 and cited his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in refusing to respond to questions. That prompted Assistant Circuit Attorney Cynthia Copeland to demand his testimony under immunity.

The immunity does not protect Bianchi from charges of perjury if he is found to lie or give misleading statements under oath. It remained unclear whether things he says under immunity from state prosecution might still be used against him in a federal court.

Bianchi’s attorney, Jim Towey, said Tuesday his client plans to cooperate with the order, but that his story won’t differ from the original statements he made to the FBI and U.S. attorney’s office — that Smith pointed a gun at him and his partner before being killed.      http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/partner-of-ex-st-louis-cop-charged-with-murder-is/article_b85140b8-3744-55fb-83ee-3d9474cc70b3.html

In a statement, St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson called Joyce's decision "the culmination of years of investigative work."

"The department spent countless hours on this case, all in an effort to ascertain the true facts of what occurred on December 20, 2011," Dotson said in the statement.  "I hold my officers to the highest standards.  Stockley's actions were in no way representative of the dedicated service of the men and women who serve on this department."   http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-st-louis-police-shooting-20160517-story.html
