While that may be true, it doesn't render the autopsy invalid. There was never a question of which weapon was used in the shooting, so the point you're making, while interesting, has no material bearing on the case.

You really aren't that stupid, are you? Trying a person you know to be innocent is prosecutorial misconduct and an abuse of power.

So is holding a grand jury investigation, in case you didn't notice.

At least one is in public, and therefore balanced.

You live in Maryland now, right?

Read what you just wrote there.

You are saying that McCulloch took this case knowing what he was going to steer the outcome to be.

What are the implications of that as it relates to "prosecutorial misconduct and an abuse of power".

You are admitting that the fix was in from the get go.

And for once, I agree with you.

So Finnbow, since you know all the evidence, how many of Brown's fingerprints are on Wilson's Sig?

I said nothing of steering.

It had nothing to do with a fix. The evidence simply didn't support a prosecution.

Convening a grand jury is neither an abuse of power nor prosecutorial misconduct. And you, sir, are an idiot.

Come on Finnbow, stay on topic. We already know I'm an idiot, so that is immaterial to this case. How many of Brown's fingerprints were found on Wilson's gun? It is a simple question, and you agree that all the evidence supports Wilson's testimony.

Were Brown's fingerprints on Wilson's gun?

You see, one of the DA assistants from Illinois suggested I ask this question. It is a tricky one.

Believe whatever you want, Sheltie. I'm tired of wasting my time with a mental midget.

Oh, my feelings are hurt.

But you are not willing to answer a most specific and pertinent question, and actually one that this case revolves on. How many of Brown's fingerprints were on Wilson's gun?

Would anyone else hazard to help Finnbow out, since he chooses not to answer from lack of knowledge about the case evidence?

The presence of Brown's fingerprints on the gun would prove Wilson's point. The absence, however, proves nothing (Brown could have lunged for the gun without leaving any latent prints on it). You can't prove a negative, numb nuts. As was summarized by the law professor in post #690's link, all available physical evidence supports Wilson's story and no physical evidence supports an alternate story. There is simply no credible physical evidence to support a prosecution of Wilson beyond a reasonable doubt.

Give up, you're pissing in the wind. Yes, blacks have been shit upon for centuries in this country and it continues, to a degree, in certain areas. That has no bearing on Wilson's guilt or innocence, however.
