attorney's office expected to announce the results of a grand jury probe. multiple sources tell us the investigation centers on whether or not sheriff laurie smith's office favored people who donated to her re-election campaign. our investigative unit analyzed five years worth of data and found contributors were about 14 times more likely to get a concealed weapons permit compared to those who did not contribute money to her campaign. the i-unit found 79% of donors were awarded permits while fewer than 6% of those nondonors were not. people like mark hinkle who asked sheriff's deputies what would it take to get a permit. >> every one of them said, well, if you make a substantial contribution to sheriff smith's re-election campaign you'll improve your chances. and, of course, i don't want to do that. >> reporter: sheriff smith has
