Contrary to what a lot of people think, Wilson is really not out [View all]
of the woods for local criminal prosecution.
It is pretty clear that the Prosecutor's office ran the GJ hearings on behalf of Wilson. Had the GJ voted to indict Wilson on any one of the potential charges and the Prosecutor's office forced to actually prosecute Wilson, everyone knows that they would have happily thrown the case under the bus and thereby create double jeopardy which would have protected Wilson from any further local criminal prosecution.
If I am correct, I don't think that murder and murder related charges have a statute of limitation. If this is correct, then another Prosecutor at a later date could either reconvene a new GJ or just file charges and Wilson is at risk of prosecution again.
Ferguson needs to make it their #1 priority to get McCullough voted out of office and instead get a Prosecutor who does not live in the back pocked of the Ferguson PD.
