National Bar Association Lawyers Release Statement Indicating Ferguson Prosecutor Corruption

“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."

The National Bar Association is NOT the American Bar Association. They are a black lawyers group.

And there you have it. Hey, is there an exclusive association for Caucasian lawyers? Would it be racist if there was? What about Asian attorneys?

It’s greed at work here. Wilson would have been sued by NAACP for civil rights violations, Parents (wrongful death), and any other leftist group who wanted to make money off of this death and the officer doing his duty.

One charge against the officer to go to trial and they all would have piled on, because it’s lucrative to sue Police departments, counties, states, and individuals.

They’ll sue him... that’s one reason he has a financial war chest.

Fighting a civil lawsuit takes a huge toll - physically, emotionally and financially.

Oh the Brown family will lose but they want to roll with the punches.

This ain’t over yet.. not by a long shot.

Tom Marr, who filled in for Mark Levin this week, said it's very difficult to win such a civil case without a criminal conviction.

So the Browns, Sharptons, et al are probably looking for a settlement, which, given the cowardly response of the gov't to the rioting, may happen.

centurion316:".. 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."

Exactly true !
The fact that a National Black Legal organization would find fault with the legal process, isn't surprizing .
The crowd/herd/ mob was politicized from the White Hut and wanted a hanging
legal technicalities be damned !
Bread and Circuses for the Politically Correct crowd.
The only thing missing from this crowd is the cry of : " Give us Barabbus ! "

I’m surprised. These so called “civil rights” types are always complaining about prosecutionary misconduct involving over zealous prosecutors and a system that lacks transparency. I believe this prosecutor did exactly what should be done in every case where there aren’t factors that would preclude it.

I found it refreshing that I could simply read through witness testimony and evidence and reach a level of confidence that the right decision was made. There is a reason why the race baiters now don’t want transparency and don’t want grand juries and that is because it prevented them from having an even bigger money making circus. Its pretty hard to keep up a totally false narrative of a poor young innocent black kid getting shot when you have it in black and white that he was without a doubt grappling for the officers gun.

That there is not one piece of hard evidence contradicting Officer Wilson’s account made this an open and shut case. I do wish that the prosecutor would go after those who told boldfaced lies to the grand jury in an attempt to wrongly indict this officer because they are representative of the disease in the ghetto black community that is going to keep encouraging poor young black men to their deaths and prison through their irrational hatred of the police and affinity for committing crime.

The National Bar Association is to the Bar Association as the Congressional Black Caucus is to the Congress. Both the NBA and the CBC are irrelevant!

Now, the American[?] Bar Association has released an official statement, questioning whether had ever intended to push for an indictment at all, in spite of the fact that it was his job to do so.

No, you evil morons, a prosecutor's job is press for an indictment only if the evidence warrants. And to do just the opposite if the evidence does not.

“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, in an interview with The New York Times.

Everyone knows the difference, but Noah Feldman views the American public the way Jonathan Gruber does.

Feldman said that it all seemed like “the prosecutor didn’t want an indictment—and didn’t want to be blamed for not getting one.”

Well, duh!

The mother and step-father are activists, that is seen by their appearances on tv shows...no crying, just wailing about Wilson was going to kill someone that day. Obviously using it for their 15 minutes of fame.

Too bad the National Trial Lawyers don’t understand as much as I taught about Grand Juries to my High School government classes...

Perhaps a Grand Jury once impaneled...will investigate the corruption of the National Trial Lawyers group... ( ; )as is within their powers... ( ; )

THe purpose is to give blacks a “pass” o lower lever crimial behavior, and they can escalate there. Until whitey willingly agrees to be slaves for blacks (like we aren’t already via welfare). They want to be treated like royalty instead of the vermin they actualy are. I keep repating this and it needs to bunderstood by EVERYONE...the median IQ for blacks is 80 (borderline reatarded) and 90% are withing a single SD of that point. that means 70 to 90. Everyone else is has IQ’s that are 100 and a single SD puts that range from 90 to 110.

Anyone with experience with the retarded understands that they act out violently when they can’t cope/deal with a subject or problem.. I see the exact same mindset in the “community of color”
