It sounds like the evidence is being presented to the Grand Jury in MO, and the Feds who are looking in a Civil Rights case. From the article:

The officials said that while the federal investigation was continuing, the evidence so far did not support civil rights charges against Officer Wilson.


Thankfully, unlike some cases, some legal processes are not conducted like a media circus by the officials in charge. It used to be uncommon for evidence to be distributed to the media before a trial. Nowadays, sometimes both sides actively attempt to taint the jury pool ahead of a trial by whatever means necessary.
