OMFG: "Fake" Josie Account of Michael Brown Killing Matches Wilson Testimony!!!

55. A few years ago...

A young man entered my property and stole 3 batteries out of trucks that were parked there.

He promptly took them to the local recycling center, gave them his ID, and sold them the batteries as scrap.

The police had all the evidence they possibly could have needed; surveillance video, his ID, his name, and his confession. He was even on parole for another crime.

The Prosecutor declined to file charges, because she felt they could not get a conviction based on the evidence they had.

The prosecutor in this case didn't want to deal with this case. It is nearly impossible to get a conviction on a police officer in a shooting where the officer can make a reasonable case that they were in danger. So the prosecutor gave the grand jury all of the evidence, and a range of charges and told them to sort it out.

The residents of Ferguson would have never accepted the prosecutor simply saying "I'm not going to press for an indictment" and the prosecutor knew that if he chose any single count for indictment, he would not get the indictment with the evidence that was available.

Probably cause is NOT the standard. Whether or not a prosecutor can win the case, and thus make good use of limited resources, is.
