Fred was he shot 11 times while handcuffed behind his back? How could he wield a knife behind his back? What is the story here? I know the District attorney recomended that he not be indicted. If the grand jury had gone for indictment well then the Ham sandwich line comes into play.

I think this line is telling:

Stengel noted last night that his recommendation -- and the grand jury's decision -- ''don't mean mistakes were not made.'' He said those would be addressed in ''the civil arena.''

That tells me that if this guy wasn't a cop and shot a handcuffed lowlife 11 times the evidence is there for a murder indictment.

I am glad the suspect is no longer in the gene pool.

So you're basically saying that when cops make mistakes, there are slight changes in departmental policy, while when civilians make mistakes, they go to jail for years? It would seem to be the case.

What is the story here? ***

Read the article and then read the info on the Louisville web site.

I too thought this deal smelled when I first heard about it. There is definately more to the story than has been published until now. You need to keep in mind that a human can be hard to kill. The species is very tenacious of life.
