After failing to secure an indictment on Oct. 9, transcripts show a grand juror asked prosecutors the next week if they had “unlimited tries” to bring the case for indictment by the grand jury. One replied, “I think the saying is the second time is the charm.” It wasn’t. In fact, things got worse:

“I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of s--- then and I still think it is.” Grand jury transcripts released in wake of “Broadview Six” case’s implosion shed light on rarely seen judicial process. @hannahmeisel.bsky.social reports. buff.ly/xR8ttMg

you know, can't say i've ever thought about scott pelley this way before, but a manager saying "this is not actually productive. this is not an interview" and then pelley responding "it's working for me" is so so hot to me

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

"Bari loves this institution," Bilton told staffers at one point during the highly contentious meeting. "She loves '60 Minutes.'" "She's murdering '60 Minutes,'" Pelley countered. "She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it—and she's doing exactly that." This story is based on audio of the meeting obtained by Status. A CBS News spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment, but Pelley's stunning series of remarks left staffers on the newsmagazine wondering if he will resign. In the meeting, Pelley pointed out that Weiss has "no qualifications for her job" and told Bilton "you have slender qualifications for this job." Pelley, the former anchor of "CBS Evening News," noted that the changes Weiss has made to that program "have been catastrophic." "So why should we expect any of this is going to be any better?" Pelley asked Bilton. Bilton tried to move the meeting along, but Pelley pressed on, challenging the new executive producer’s references in interviews to “60 Minutes” creator Don Hewitt’s vision for the program as he outlined his plans. "I have another question," the veteran journalist said. "Did you at any point work with Don Hewitt, telling everybody about what Don Hewitt thought, and what his inspiration was? I worked for Don Hewitt from 1999 to 2004 and Lesley Stahl probably worked with him for 30 years. Just wondering how you have such deep insight?" Bilton replied that he was simply quoting Hewitt’s own words from past interviews and asked Pelley whether he had any other questions. Pelley said that he did. "I have many questions," Pelley responded. "What was wrong with Sharyn Alfonsi?"

🎶 Regrets…I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention 🎵 (Is this an okay first BlueSky post? I probably could’ve gone with something grander but my first-ever tweet in June 2009 as an 18-year-old baby wasn’t profound either so) 🎃👻
