In this Feb. 27, 2014 photo, Julian Ramirez, left, chief of the civil rights division with the Harris County district attorney, and investigator Kirk Bonsal discuss the merits of a shooting simulator used to teach grand jurors about the use of deadly force, in Houston. The simulator projects on a screen various scenarios, including a confrontation with a carjacker, where grand jurors use a specially modified gun and have to decide whether to fire in self-defense. But critics argue that it puts grand jurors in a pro-law enforcement mindset. One Houston defense attorney recently unsuccessfully challenged the simulator’s use, calling it mind manipulation.
