The Legend of the Gentle Giant must go on.
That's certainly part of it, though the "ham sandwich" saying is really more about the fact that, since the prosecutor has effective control over the entire grand jury proceeding (which witnesses they hear from, what evidence they see, etc.), a prosecutor can pretty much get a grand jury to do he wants it to do. If a prosecutor wants an indictment, he'll get one (usually). If a prosecutor doesn't want an indictment, the grand jury will return no true bill (usually). Going through the grand jury evidence in the Wilson case, it is pretty clear that the latter is what happened - the prosecutor did not believe there was a case against Wilson (because there was not a case against Wilson), but was essentially forced by public pressure to present the case to the grand jury, so he presented a case that he knew couldn't possibly result in an indictment.

Well that should say it all.....Sharpton, bambaboy, holder, Jackson all at work....
Monies from all of this crap coming from Comcast and Wal-Mart I guess.....
Does he have authority to do that? I understand the politics, but again, I thought the internals of the grand jury proceeding were secret.
So they get their wish and they indict, it goes to trial. And the jury finds them not guilty. What then? Burn down a few more cities?
Wilson should have got out of the country while the getting was good.
Our black overlords will never let him live in peace.
Apparently, it was *unusual* for the Prosecuting Attorney to release the evidence; that too is usually kept private.
Here is a link to a pretty good article that addresses several of the questions raised on this thread.

Unless Judge McShane has lost the faculty of reason, this shallow “open letter” should go nowhere. OMG - The prosecutor showed false testimony to be false! He presented all the facts, rather than railroading an innocent man - oh, no!
Challenge to “lawyers” behind the letter: Lay out your best case based on a totality of the evidence that Darren Wilson could be properly convicted of any crime in this matter.
“The cop haters will not give up on this. Where, in the world, can Darren Wilson go and be safe?”
******************************************************************************************************
Possibly nowhere...he was “guilty” of being a good cop and defending himself. I sure hope we don’t get to the point where I begin to see FReepers declaring he was stupid and a fool, like they’re doing now to George Zimmerman. Mob rule lives!
FACT: 20% of cops killed every year are killed by “unarmed” suspects who take the cop’s or the cop’s partner’s department-issued firearm and kill them with it.
FACT: Forensic blood and hand wound evidence confirms that Saint Swisher Sweets was shot in Officer Wilson’s vehicle while attempting to steal his department-issued firearm.
Case closed.
That's how they got Tom DeLay. Just kept jury-shopping until they got a hit.
The Ferguson event has been too rich of a vein to give up. The agitators will continue to mine it for some time to come.
They have their head so far up their ass they have to drink shampoo to wash their hair.
Sure, one pro-Wilson witness was a liar. Guess what? Every anti-Wilson witness gave out provably wrong testimony. McCulloch put it all out there so you wouldn’t complain yet you still nitpick. He doesn’t want to waste money on a trail where he’ll never get a conviction because there’s tons of exculpatory evidence.
You may as well demand we try Al Sharpton for the death of the Lindburg baby since you have as much evidence.
The NAACP is chiefed primarily by morons and nobody of decency or intellect should entertain them.
And so did the grand jury.
The smartest thing the prosecutor did in the Wilson case was release the evidence that the grand jury saw the same day it was presented. Transparency. I personally thought it was a good thing, others disagreed. At the very least the truth was out there for anyone who cared to see it, clearly these black based organizations demanding another grand jury didn't look and frankly don't care what the truth is.
They just want a white cop in jail. Period.
I think the primary purpose of this action is to act as a diversion while other regulations are enacted. Re-opening this case is not in the best interest of America as it fans the coals of a dying issue. Besides, we already have Eric Holder and the Justice Department looking into possible civil rights violations.
Obama has taken race relations to a new low. Watts and Rodney King riots were basically confined to a small area whereas promoters such as Jackson and Sharpton make sure race issues now become national in expressions of outrage. The “mild” responses by authorities have encouraged rioters, hence we have seen repeated looting, physical attacks on authorities, and an unusually low arrest rate. The media seems to encourage the discourse, either in the hope of selling papers or pushing an agenda held by management (essentially the Democratic Party). The net result has been more vicious black-on-white attacks, usually hidden by the media as are the FBI race crime statistics. Add to this the recent Islamic attacks and you have an unsettled general populace, possibly ready to give up rights under the guise of more safety. Yes, stir the pot on the right so nobody will notice what the left does.
The NAAWP (National Association for the Advancement of White People) needs to send a letter requesting that O.J. Simpson be retried for the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman.
This twaddle from the NAACP is completely wrong, they should be punished and they should not be allowed since they have no standing.When they file their case they should me made to post a$ 2,000,000 bond which they forfeit if and when they lose. They help incite continuuing riot,among the malingerers.
If I recall correctly, I think the prosecutor petitioned the court to allow him to release the records.
Note that what we are told of the letter from the Inc. Fund does not address the strength of the forensic evidence, which is quite telltale as to the purpose of the letter.
The NAACP’s legal group is basically demanding a lawfare lynching of Darren Wilson, and is too dim to understand the irony of that.
