Finally a chink in your carefully crafted armor (constant repetition of the grand jury findings and Utah legal expert/professor).

It seems to me that the grand jury listened to Wilson's story (coached by the DA's) and then ignored some of the eye witnesses who could refute his account of the events. A very careful witness selection process it seems and the DA is held harmless.

Yet Wilson was complicit in the Brown killing. So why would people trust Wilson anymore than they do Johnson, especially the people of Ferguson? I for one don't. One needs to accept the fact that there are vested interests in the PD and DA's office to find Wilson innocent. This is really why this won't go away. You can quote the grand jury verdict till you are blue in the face and it is not going to change some people's mind about who committed the worse of the two crimes.

I no longer have a strong opinion on Brown's guilt or Wilson's innocence, but do have major discomfort about how the case was dealt with, both during the investigation and subsequent grand jury testimony. This was a sham from the get go.
