“It looks like he wanted to create the appearance that there had been a public trial when in fact there hadn’t been,” said Harvard Law School professor Noah Feldman.

"McCulloch gave Wilson’s case special treatment. He turned it over to the grand jury, a rarity itself, and then used the investigation as a document dump, an approach that is virtually without precedent in the law of Missouri or anywhere else. Buried underneath every scrap of evidence McCulloch could find, the grand jury threw up its hands and said that a crime could not be proved. This is the opposite of the customary ham-sandwich approach, in which the jurors are explicitly steered to the prosecutor’s preferred conclusion."

This term, "public trial" is echoed from (unofficial) Racial Czar Al "Not So" Sharpton. Brown's parents wanted a "public trial" even skipping the Constitutionally-required grand jury for such a case. A required Constitutional Amendment is so much more difficult than simply rallying the emotions of like-colored sympathizers, isn't it, Al?
National Bar Association president, Pamela Meanes--who claims to live mere minutes from Ferguson seems to be the instigator of this press release and set of claims.
Obama, Jarrett, Holder and Sharpton have so much to answer for in this case! Impeach and remove!

Not at all surprising. “Pamela J. Meanes is a partner in Thompson Coburn LLP, the largest law firm in St. Louis. She was the first African American in the firm’s history to be elevated from associate to partner.”
Notice that the liberal schmucks never want to talk about the actual evidence.
They are grasping for any pretense they can invent to railroad Wilson. Their abject cowardice is sickening.
McColluch stepped aside within the first 48 hours and handed it off to 2 female assistant prosecuting attorneys who acted as little more than errand girls for the grand jury.
'Nuff said.
The National Bar Association condemnation of the Grand Jury is as “important” as condemnation by every other black group that for not care about all the physical evidence and witness testimony .
The National Bar Association makes Algonquin J. Calhoun look like a distinguished jurist.
The racist lynch mob is complaining about systemic corruption?
That’s funny. Where have they been all these years over systemic corruption in Obama’s Justice Department and IRS?
Their hypocrisy speaks volumes about their declared commitment to impartial justice.
They don’t want to give Darren Wilson the presumption of innocence to which he’s constitutionally entitled by the way, because he happens to be a white cop.
And because he’s a cop, he must be tried and convicted. That’s the Left’s idea of a fair trial: a kangaroo court presided over by a political commissar and a heavily biased jury. Sentence first, verdict afterwards.
Its a hoot... I mean it would be dead on funny if a man’s life and freedom wasn’t at stake here.
Just how many of the National Bar Association members owe their position only to affirmative-action? Just askin’...
The degradation of this nation under Obama and the other Leftists who mean to bury us is really quite evident in these Ferguson shenanigans.
Battle lines are clearly being drawn. “There’s something happening here . . . “
“The National Bar Association (NBA) is the oldest [1925]and largest national association of African-American attorneys and judges in the United States.” [FRom Wikipedia]
Is that her? There was a pic of a woman “protester” in Ferguson that looks just like her!
Clyde Lewis (a conspiracy guy) made a similar type statement days ago. But to the effect that the Grand Jury was rigged to CAUSE the riots, not to necessarily clear Officer Wilson. Wilson is/was just the pawn in this race war drama.
even skipping the Constitutionally-required grand jury for such a case.

While grand juries are required in Federal cases, they are not required in most states. I believe they are optional in Missouri—a prosecutor can “file an information” which takes the place of a Grand Jury indictment.
"You'll get a fair trial followed by a first class hanging."
Judge Roy Bean
Wiki:
“The National Bar Association was founded in 1925 and is the nation’s oldest and largest national network of edominantly African-American attorneys and judges.”
It has no real standing on anything, anywhere, but it does sound important to the low-info’s.
And how much corruption is there in the Black Lawyers Guild also known as the National Bar Association?
