Does the Ferguson grand jury have the last word when it comes to the indicting Officer Darren Wilson?

Law enforcement sources say the grand jury could reach a decision on whether to indict Officer Darren Wilson by this Friday. Missouri's Governor has already declared a state of emergency ahead of the expected protests.

While the grand jury's proceedings are going on behind closed doors, the grand jurors are not sequestered. It is possible they are aware that a lack of an indictment could incite a new round of anger and protest.
Anderson discussed the latest on this case with our CNN legal analysts, criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos and former federal prosecutor Sunny Hostin.
