What do you think will be the grand jury verdict concerning Officer Darren Wilson?

I believe a decision from the grand jury is just around the corner. With this in mind...

Do you think that Officer Darren Wilson will face charges - or not?

Do you think the grand jury should give equal weight to both sides (eyewitness Officer Darren Wilson and the 5 other eyewitnesses)? Are civilan eyewitness accounts (be it one person or more) ever equal to that of a police officer? If so, in which cases?

If the 5 eyewitnesses don't agree on all things, should the grand jury take into account everything the 5 eyewitnesses do agree upon?

Does the witness of 5 outweigh the witness of 1, or is an Appeal to Numbers automatically fallacious? In that case, if more than 1 eyewitness acount cannot be relied on, how then can just 1 eyewitness account (Officer darren Wuilson) be relied upon?

What say you?

Bill the Ham Sandwich....

[Theodore R.]

I think he will face baseless charges in MO.

[ealgeone]

Recent forensic evidence and the conflicting "eye-witness" accounts along with the gentle giants prior record says Wilson is a free man.

His best bet is to get out of Ferguson ASAP and never come back.

If I were him I'd head to the Pacific for a while.

[Mr. K]

If there is an indictment EVERYONE ELSE should riot...

[WayneS]

I think it will be an excuse for more violence.

[WayneS]

Yeah, the South Pacific.

No bill but the grand jury has been told by the ‘powers-that-be’ to wait until the lynch mob in Ferguson loses interest and stops the ‘protests’.

[Lurker]

They’re going to No Bill him. Then the real fun starts.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Present.

[Snark]

I think he will get hit with some “Lesser Charges” that will amount to basically nothing. I feel the thought behind this will be to diffuse any potential angst in Ferguson.

Bottom line, they will riot no matter what the outcome is.

[TexasCajun]

The leaks are preparing us.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I think riots on Obala’s watch days before the midterms would blow up in his face big-time.

[ladyjane]

In a sane world he would face no charges.

In the world today, upside down as it is, who knows.

[Psalm 73]

Hmmm, a week or so before the elections?
He walks and "spontaneous" riots erupt all over the nation - Obozo has no choice but to "postpone" elections - Demoncrats retain control of Senate due to lack of elections....

[FreedomPoster]

I think the decision should be announced after Nov 5, after the election when it’s a good bit colder.

[DiogenesLamp]

It ought to return a big nothing, but who can say with the insanity prevalent nowadays?

[grania]

If Darren Wilson is charged with anything, the police officers should walk. Let the fine residents of Ferguson police themselves. JMHO

[buffaloguy]

They will either wait until the last few weeks of the election cycle in order to get people out or they will wait until the first heavy snowfall hits or really cold weather.
