In its report, the grand jury said it considered a range of evidence: the 911 tapes, interviews with 911 dispatchers as well as the people who made the initial 911 call and statements from Sharon Powell, the victim’s widow.

“Since the investigation is closed, we are doing open records requests to the GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigations) and other agencies to discover exactly what the grand jury was told and what they know and to fill in all the blanks we have at this time,” said Keith Martin, the Powell family’s attorney said Monday. The Powell family’s attorney told The AJC Monday the family is “dismayed and disappointed” by the grand jury decision.
