“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 grand jury trial killed the momentum. Now it will be on to the next crisis unless there is a civil trial.
Not a whole lotta brainpower goin’ on in that group, eh?
Oh well, the Holderidiot and Obamadotk have law degrees, so we’re not talkin’ STEM standards in the profession.
And always remember that the majority of the nation’s least respected profession are lawyers.
Dems some choppers.
They are a thousand times more rush-to-judgement than the average 1870’s lynch mob.
they can’t argue on the evidence, so try to smear the prosecutor they must

Consistent with their usual stand of supporting murderers of police officers.
Looks like Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho got a sex change.
Ah, yes, you are correct. I believe that is the liberals favorite judge Roland Friesler.
...and that is justice? I think not.
I reached for my wallet, and shook hands with the Kingfish.
“The National Bar Association makes Algonquin J. Calhoun look like a distinguished jurist.”
Worth repeating.
Seems pretty clear-cut, but it has never been incorporated to cover the states. A quick google search says that half of the states don’t use them at all. So, they’re required on the Federal level, but not on the state level. It might be similar to the requirement that jury trials are required in civil cases involving more than $20—Amendment VII
But not a word about the corruption of the lawyer in the White House.....
I absolutely agree he should go after them. He should also hold a news conference and explain to the people how the Main Stream Media, along with the usual suspects, lied and fueled the unrest and subsequent riots!
