Evidence before the Missouri grand jury reviewing the Ferguson police shooting won’t be released unless approved by a judge, a court spokesman said after local prosecutors pledged to do so if no indictment is forthcoming.

Paul Fox, director of judicial administration for St. Louis County, denied a press report that a state judge had pre-approved the release of grand jury evidence in the event no charges are brought in the August shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old, by police officer Darren Wilson.
