Without a trial, we keep running into the brick wall that almost all killings can be justified, and that it is open season on those who do not come from wealth, privilege, and power.

One thing I am curious about, in case no one else has noticed. Originally, before all the grand jury testimony got leaked out, was the oft stated fact that Officer Wilson had no clue whatsoever that Brown was most recently involved in a strongarm robbery. This point was repeatedly made by numerous law enforcement managers in St. Louis, including the Ferguson Chief of Police..

Now the grand jury testimony has been leaked, it turns out that Wilson did know about the robbery, and was acting on that knowledge. Wonder how that happened, eh?

The thing that stinks is that in the grand jury process, the accused can be 'exonerated' by (more or less) secret testimony. If the prosecutor desires, he can stack the witness list with anonymous shills, and there's no cross examination, and no rebuttal.
