“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."

They were looking for a jury that would provide a guilty verdict after an indictment. It would like the OJ trial. The facts would be discounted in favor of the mob.

Some damn blacks are going insane or are already there. National Bar Association president, Pamela Meanes is a perfect example of insanity. She is black.

But that is not what Holder, Sharpton, or Obama were looking for. They were looking to stoke the fire and in a way this article is propaganda to that cause.

Notice that the liberal schmucks never want to talk about the actual evidence.

That's right, just the "seriousness of the charge". These people have mental illness.

Here they criticize the prosecutor for providing all the evidence available.

Had less than this been presented, they would have criticized the result as a coverup, using the ham sandwich approach.

In fact, there is absolutely no process the prosecution could have used that would have been acceptable to them, if it found Wilson not liable to stand trial. Their dispute is not with the method, except in pretense. It’s simply that they don’t like the result.

The prosecutor knew that he didn’t have a case, unlike 99% of the Lefties out there, he read the evidence. In a normal case, he would have simply declined to prosecute and not bothered to go to the Grand Jury. Many, many cases are disposed with exactly in this fashion - prosecutors do not waste time, energy, and resources on cases that are going nowhere.

But, he couldn’t do that here, the lynch mob was in full cry. So by doing a document dump to the Grand Jury and letting them sort through it to get to an inevitable conclusion, he bought time, shifted the blame, and put a stamp of citizen review on it all. This is how Grand juries used to operate, but they have not done so for a long time.

The disappointed lynch mob will just have to content themselves with burning down minority owned businesses.

Wow.

If God descended from the Heavens and proclaimed Wilson innocent, these a-holes would smear and indict God.

Thank you for clarifying. I keep thinking - Martin Luther King/ We Shall Overcome; Michael Brown’s parents/ ‘We don’t believe the report/ Burn this bxxx down.” Which one forwards justice? Which one elevates mankind? Which makes for a better society? Which one will be remembered in 100 years?

That describes a corrupted process.

The writer is complaining that the process wasn't sufficiently corrupted.

I didn’t catch that. Thanks for pointing it out, FRiend. This is no different than the KKK releasing a statement about something. “National Bar Association” my .... Just another tribal entity flapping its jaws.

The National Bar Association (NBA) is the oldest and largest national association of African-American attorneys and judges in the United States.

PLEASE PUT THE TRUTH IN THE HEADLINE.

Boo frickin’ hoo.

The REALITY of the UNIQUENESS of this case is that a DEMOCRAT prosecutor didn’t abuse the target of the probe....

Rick Perry, Tom DeLay, and Scooter Libby were victims of imbecilic prosecutors. Their crime? Being conservatives.

Darren Wilson, a cop, was targeted....but the Grand Jury wasn’t denied the bulk of the evidence.

The lawyers whining here are apparently upset the typical ABUSE of the GJ SYSTEM want employed.

It seems Feldman is a proponent of selective and biased evidence ...

"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."
