(8,303 posts)And witnesses who changed their story after first testifying to events that were disproved by the forensic evidence are NOT credible, nor are witnesses who persist on telling of events that are disproved by the forensics.
This was a chaotic event and the end happened quite quickly. It is not surprising that eyewitness accounts would vary - many may not even have intended to lie. But the grand jury's job is to collect and sift the evidence, and a confused witness will have his/her story discounted.
The bottom line is that this cop wasn't indicted because there isn't probable cause.
I can't believe this guy was lying about the witness statements, because the Feds have everything, and they will not permit a distortion here. And the federal investigation is ongoing.
