When a grand jury decides to go off-script, the director throws a chair. The most dangerous sound in a democracy isn’t a gunshot or a siren. It’s the polite cough of a grand jury in Norfolk, Virginia, looking at a prosecutor and effectively saying, “Yeah, we’re not gonna do that.” This week, something almost folkloric
