Contempt of Court ?

Today is another big day in the police-involved shooting death of Mark Barmore. Two key witnesses who dispute the initial police report face a court hearing of their own. Sheila Brown and her daughter, Marissa, face contempt of court charges for failing to appear before a grand jury on December 23rd. The two ladies were notified December 17th...but declined to appear...citing holiday travel plans that took them to Mississippi. States Attorney Joe Bruscato wasn't amused. Bruscato is asking Judge Joe McGraw to hold the Brown's in contempt. A hearing is scheduled for 1:30 this afternoon at the Winnebago County Courthouse. The Brown's could be fined or even spend some time in jail if they're held in contempt. By now you're aware a grand jury exonerated Rockford Police officers Oda Poole and Stan North in the August 24th, 2009 shooting death of Mark Barmore inside House of Grace Day Care in downtown Rockford. Police say Barmore was shot after he grabbed Officer Poole's gun and a struggle took place. Witness Marissa Brown claims Barmore was shot while attempting to surrender to police with his hands in the air. States Attorney Bruscato says Marissa Brown was on the staircase outside the room where the shooting occurred and was not in a position to see what happened. This case is far from being resolved. Two civil lawsuits have been filed in connection with the Barmore shooting.
