Did the judge in Georgia today say how long he is going to take to make a decision?

This is not rocket science judge. release the Grand Jury report, yes or no. In our legal system everyone slows things down, including judges.

I thought he was going to make a decision today. Willis told him she is ready go, to bring charges.

What's the judge going to do. Go through the entire Grand jury report and nit pic what to release or not release.

Correct if I'm wrong. When indictments are released doesn't everyone get the information they need. We don't need the Grand Jury report released.

Willis told the judge she doesn't want it released for obvious reasons and told him she is ready to indict.

and may email the parties with further questions or ask for clarifications before he makes his decision. He has seen the report, he knows what is in it and I get the distinct feeling he is slowing this down for Willis to get her indictments lined up, so that if the law determines he should publicly release the report, she has been given some time. She now has to take this to a regular grand jury to get indictments and I have no idea what that entails and I have not heard any of the legal beagles opine on this. Whether the new grand jury just needs to read the report and make a decision??? Not sure or how long it will take her to convene a new grand jury.
