For immediate release:

STATEMENT BY CONGRESSWOMAN CYNTHIA MCKINNEY
ON GRAND JURY DECISION FINDING NO CAUSE FOR INDICTMENT

June 16, 2006 (Washington, DC)

I am relieved that this unfortunate incident is behind me.

I accept today's grand jury finding of "no probable cause" as right and just, and the proper resolution of this case.

I want to thank my friends and supporters for standing with me during this difficult period.

I shall continue my important work on behalf of the citizens of Georgia's Fourth Congressional District without this cloud hanging over me.
