“Over 150K cases were brought before the grand Jury and and only 11 cases didn’t come back with indictments...”
This statement says “0.0007 % of cases didn’t return an indictment”. In other words, 99.993% of cases DID return an indictment. To him, that’s not the justice system working properly?
As if we needed more proof this guy was a complete idiot.
He’s simply citing the flawed Nate Silver/538 numbers spun to show that the 11% were an abberation driven by bias.
What Nate-boy failed to do is to consider that the cases even going to grand jury might have been the abberation. In the case of Wilson/Brown there was overwheming physical evidence justifying the use of lethal force. This evidence corroborated the story of Wilson and several other witnesses.
The ONLY reason it went to grand jury is that the DA wanted to punt the issue to an ostensibly “neutral” body for political cover. Had the races been different the DA wouldn’t have wasted the grand juries time.
These cases only went to the grand jury as an act of appeasement to the protestors.
Different races and they never would have gone to the grand jury.
Actually, it highlights why sending things to a grand jury for “show trial” purposes is stupid.
There was no case and the DA didn’t want to prosecute a non-crime. Pushed to “do something”, they kicked the ball to a grand jury, who looked at the evidence and came up with the same determination.
