You have a good point.. SomethingFishy Nov 2014 #5

you mean a conflict beyond the conflict prosecutors always have going against the police? unblock Nov 2014 #8

McCullough, the prosecuter, was also the President of the Organization that raised truedelphi Nov 2014 #9

holy crap! he went out of his way to create a conflict of interest after the fact! unblock Nov 2014 #12

Check this out. Rex Nov 2014 #10

Can this be enough for a DOJ indictment? Leopolds Ghost Nov 2014 #37

I do not think that there is a statute of limitation on avebury Nov 2014 #45

in missouri, from what i can gather -- murder: no limit; voluntary manslaughter: 3 years. unblock Nov 2014 #49

There's no statute of limitations for murder. - nt KingCharlemagne Nov 2014 #64

true, but there may be for lesser homicide charges, e.g., voluntary manslaughter. unblock Nov 2014 #65

Also, if as Wilson claimed 'the next next blow could have been the death blow' lovemydog Nov 2014 #15

Exactly what I think marions ghost Nov 2014 #28

Thanks. elleng Nov 2014 #2

Thanks for that. malokvale77 Nov 2014 #3

at least you actually waited for and absorbed the fatcs noiretextatique Nov 2014 #6

I agree, there was plenty here for at least a manslaughter indictment. NYC_SKP Nov 2014 #7

^^^ Backup was 90 seconds away. Stay in the damn car. Recursion Nov 2014 #11

exactly. DesertFlower Nov 2014 #17

Indeed, Wilson left his car to go after the unarmed black kid and "have his way with him". NYC_SKP Nov 2014 #21

Fucking nuts indeed !!! SamKnause Nov 2014 #25

This asshole. Was he actually a Ferguson cop? Leopolds Ghost Nov 2014 #62

Yes, he was, on the job and on the scene during the first protests in Ferguson! NYC_SKP Nov 2014 #63

Hi NYC :) Leopolds Ghost Nov 2014 #66

Drive away. joshcryer Nov 2014 #31

Or even roll up the window!!! RockaFowler Nov 2014 #44

Thank you for sharing, ecstatic Nov 2014 #14

Perhaps if there is imminent danger to another person, for example lovemydog Nov 2014 #16

Yeap, Brown was unarmed and running away... him looking like a demon shouldn't be uponit7771 Nov 2014 #47

Article from the WaPo: XemaSab Nov 2014 #18

I don't know that Brown was running away when Wilson fired Recursion Nov 2014 #19

Brown died 143 feet from Wilson's vehicle. Thor_MN Nov 2014 #22

And was closer to the car than the second set bloodstains Recursion Nov 2014 #23

So you doubt that he could move 9 feet forward as he was falling dead? Thor_MN Nov 2014 #26

Not if he was running away at the time. Recursion Nov 2014 #27

Agreed, the job of a jury, not a grand jury, to determine Thor_MN Nov 2014 #41

Well we're 100% agreed on that. This was a true bill that a GJ denied Recursion Nov 2014 #42

He was retreating BACKWARDS towards the vehicle! Leopolds Ghost Nov 2014 #38

Well, hell, why were you not deposed? Thor_MN Nov 2014 #43

I was being facetious. Leopolds Ghost Nov 2014 #50

Ok, I accept that you were being an ass. Thor_MN Nov 2014 #53

I guess you've heard of black humor in life and death situations Leopolds Ghost Nov 2014 #54

Apparently you are the sole person allowed to be facetious. Thor_MN Nov 2014 #55

Why yes, yes I am. Leopolds Ghost Nov 2014 #56

Like I said, I agree Thor_MN Nov 2014 #57

I think we are in agreement on the issues here, other than me always being right. ;) Leopolds Ghost Nov 2014 #58

Yup Thor_MN Nov 2014 #59

... I was too modest to say it, but thanks! Leopolds Ghost Nov 2014 #60

........sigh................. alittlelark Nov 2014 #20

Is this an "I told you so," or what? nomorenomore08 Nov 2014 #34

But prosecutor never asked for an indictment on any charge. It was fixed from the beginning. nt kelliekat44 Nov 2014 #24

My fault. I literally didn't conceive of a GJ failing to indict at least on Man 2 Recursion Nov 2014 #40

In the sense that... you don't take it to a grand jury and not get an indictment, right? Leopolds Ghost Nov 2014 #61

Does anyone know if another prosecutor can charge Wilson? joshcryer Nov 2014 #29

Jeopardy doesn't attach with a grand jury Recursion Nov 2014 #30

But if you weren't expecting we'd ever get to read the GJ testimony, pnwmom Nov 2014 #32

Because I thought it would go to trial Recursion Nov 2014 #35

Same. joshcryer Nov 2014 #39

I don't blame you for holding back initially, to be truthful. AverageJoe90 Nov 2014 #33

I almost think the prosecutor looks worse. Vinca Nov 2014 #46

It's pretty bad - TBF Nov 2014 #48

How did Wilson lose control of the car? Wella Nov 2014 #51

Thanks. There's never anything wrong with honest skepticism Jackpine Radical Nov 2014 #52
