Your presumptions are predicated upon the notion that the DA thought the suspect was guilty. In this instance, he knew from the previous internal investigation that physical evidence and testimony would clear Wilson and, due to political/public pressure, he went through the motions with the grand jury to assuage the mob. One can question whether this is an appropriate use of a grand jury, but one can't really question his conclusion as to Wilson's guilt, given the evidence.

You can bitch all you want, but it was abundantly clear going in that a prosecution of Wilson, based upon the available evidence, would be both futile and unjust.
