From Wcbstv.com:
"QUEENS Indictments were unsealed Monday accusing three New York City police officers of breaking the law in the November shooting death of Sean Bell and the wounding of two of his friends outside a Queens strip club on the day Bell was to be married.Gescard Isnora and Michael Oliver were charged with manslaughter, assault and reckless endangerment.
Marc Cooper was charged only with two counts of reckless endangerment.
Isnora and Oliver face both first- and second-degree manslaughter charges.Two other NYPD officers who were present during the shooting were not indicted by the Queens grand jury that ended its deliberations Friday."
This comes after the DA made the unprecedented decision to hold the decision over the weekend. Michael Oliver took the extra time to party up a 4,200 tab which led to some stern criticism. Personally if I was about to be indicted for manslaughter I'd party too...preferably in a country with a non-extradition treaty.

The grand jury was the easy part - now comes the hard part for the State - convincing a judge that Al Sharpton & company haven't tainted the jury pool to the point that the case needs to be moved somewhere far away from NYC, as in the Diallo case.
