In looking at the proposed changes, I noticed that none of them had to do with the grand jury process. I am not sure what they think could be done differently. In fact, I think under normal circumstances, most prosecutors looking at this case would have concluded that there was insufficient grounds for indictment without even going to the grand jury. One minor clarification. St. Louis city is 49% black; the greater metropolitan area is 18% black.
Yes, I read it that way. It was pretty clearly self defense. The Grand Jury was the only way he could try to placate the mob. Outcome was the same though - feral yutes out to loot.
Thanks for that correction. It was the city numbers. Even though I proofed the post, I missed that. Apologies to all.
