Could the lawyers and police officers here explain to us what they're up to?
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Maybe prelims to weed out specific details and presentation of facts in a way that would get the officer acquitted.

I’m neither a lawyer nor a police officer. But I read this as a sign that the evidence speaks for itself.

They know they don’t have a case and are shirking their responsibilities?

Congratulations. This is the first story I have ever read where St. Michael was not called...an unarmed teen.

I thought they’d changed his middle names to “unarmed teen” they use it so much.

Hi 2ndDivisionVet,
Thanks for posting this article.
I’m curious, have you read/heard anything about toxicology? I remember that it was to be 4-6 weeks. It’s been a little over 4 at this time.

Blank check for a fishing expedition to find something, ANYTHING, for an indictment.

This seems to a little faster FBI investigation than Lois Lerner.

I don’t think we’ll ever hear another peep on that subject, if Holder and Nixon have their way, do you?

The DA doesn’t want to get stuck with the blame for bringing a false charge.

No, I wouldn’t say that. I would say that they are ensuring that nobody can say that Wilson was given special favors by the prosecution and that there will be little doubt as to the verdict.

I suppose you are correct. I think the butchers have their fingers on the scales.
On your original question (I don’t practice in the criminal defense area) could it be that by showing the Grand Jury everything the defense will get all evidence if there are charges preferred? In other words, the defense will get a total heads up on all possible evidence. There would be no concealment, or Perry Mason moments.
Of course the federal busybodies are not investigating state law violations.

Yes. It can be evidence of motive, since the thug probably thought the officer knew of the robbery and was going to apprehend him
