Shadow Trial: Prosecutors in Ferguson violated our right to an open criminal justice system.

1. Secretive, occult dealings are not justice

As upset as people were when George Zimmerman got off, they understood why because they got to see the process. They knew that Angela Corey's prosecutors threw the case, so they were still angry. But they were not riot in the street, burn the town down angry.

We all still know that McCullogh is as incompetent as Corey at getting true justice - but we're even madder because the grand jury process is hidden - aside from the carefully manipulated leaks - and that both sides did not get to present their cases. No one questioned Darren Wilson on the validity of his claims, no one asked additional questions of the experts, the many eye witnesses. We only get to read the transcripts of one person asking questions with no adversarial counter to that one sided presentation.

I'm an old white woman and I am pissed at the injustice done to the Michael Brown family, even more pissed than I was about the injustice done to Trayvon Martin's family, and to every other family who young children of color have been killed by cops with no recourse. Every time this happens we ALL lose more of our rights.

This has to STOP.
