It will be a special prosecutor, not Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine who will present evidence to a grand jury in the cases of former Omaha Police officers Scotty Payne and Ryan McClarty.
According to our partners at the Omaha World-Herald, not having Kleine present the case puts a major twist in the state's case.
Payne and McClarty were both charged with assault for their roles in the in-custody death of 29-year-old Zachary Bearheels.
Payne faces a felony second-degree assault charge while McClarty faces a third-degree assault charge, which carries a misdemeanor.
According to state law, a grand jury is called anytime someone dies in police custody.
