Discussion:

Go to Little Green Footballs and see your lies debunked.

What lie? What are you talking about???

Here…let me help you. Read the entire thread, particularly the guy who blames Brown supporters on witnesses not coming forward. Then read the response from Trippin. Then mine.
Oh. and turn on your snark meter.

Your satire is too close to the truth. Is there a snark modicon I should have used?

Was the crowbar and two paperclips too truthful?
Really?

You’re a fucking idiot.

LOL. I now know how GhostofEustanceTilly feels.

Maybe someone who is expert in criminal law could jump in here. Isn’t it unusual for someone who is being investigated by a grand jury to testify? I recall hearing that defense counsel almost universally advise potential defendants to take the fifth. The grand jury can’t impose a penalty and it won’t prejudice a jury because grand jury proceedings are secret. In short, don’t most defense counsel think that STFU is a good strategy?

I’m with the tinfoil hatters here. Wilson testified extensively before the grand jury because in exchange, he was offered under-the-table assurances he wouldn’t be indicted.

Blacks endure constant injustice in this country…
but that does not mean that we know that in THIS instance
the cop was not justified in behaving as he did. I think it’s
not helpful to presume we know otherwise.

Also, I’m wondering about this notion of “community” investigation, or a victim’s family expecting to be part of a prosecution team…

in the realm of “truth” for that Wilson supporter
Wilson isn’t giving them information so they are making it up

The Prosecutor is a big police fanboy. My guess is he is hoping if he drags the matter off to November before he lets Wilson walk, “those people” in Ferguson are going to forget about it.

The fix is in. This murderer will walk thanks to the ex-cop McCulloch.

Yes, we do know it in this circumstance. Wilson should be arrested for murder and compelled to stand trial in public. He should an killed an unarmed teen who had surrendered to him. That’s enough for an arrest.

You need new batteries in your snark meter, Bubba.

Horseshit, dear.

I agree with one point - the four hours doesn’t seem like a big deal to me. If you want forensics done properly, you have to get the right team and equipment in place so that they can examine a scene as little disturbed as possible. Four hours doesn’t seem excessive to me for a proper scene examination, especially when crowd control was a factor. It would have been a far greater outrage if the forensics had been done too quickly with possible loss or corruption of evidence.

So, is “grand jury shenanigans” the first lesson in how to win the PR battle in that new course they’re teaching the St. Louis law enfArcement departments?

The fix is in. Darren Wilson will become the next George Zimmerman, a white man who kills a black kid in “self defense,” given a slap on the wrist, and is lauded on the far right as a hero. Hannity will be granted the exclusive Darren Wilson interview, just as was the case with Zimmerman. Our society still has too many idiots that believe that black people are criminal scum, and Darren Wilson walking will keep that culture intact.

For what it’s worth:

American Bar Association - Criminal Justice Section Standards

Standard 3-3.6 Quality and Scope of Evidence Before Grand Jury

[ . . .]

(b) No prosecutor should knowingly fail to disclose to the grand jury evidence which tends to negate guilt or mitigate the offense.

(c) A prosecutor should recommend that the grand jury not indict if he or she believes the evidence presented does not warrant an indictment under governing law.
