Police chokehold on man ruled a homicide

Holy , haven't seen you in a month of Sundays. How have you been?

Doing good. Usually just lurking, don't post much anymore.

It doesn't make any sense because you don't understand how GJ operate. There is no discovery or full disclosure requirement for a GJ and prosecutors use that advantage all the time by only showing prosecuting arguments, evidence, and witness. Between that at the lower burden of proof, you get comments about how easy it is to indict.

What we got in the Brown case is teh prosecutor looks magnanimous for letting 'everyone' testify but then he only made defense arguments and cross examination. Wilson never had to make a statement or police report nor did he undergo cross. The prosecutor cross examined offense witnesses and questioned their credibility. That is not how GJ are done typically.

So now you're a legal expert too?

There are MANY prosecutors, lawyers, law professors who are saying the Ferguson GJ was a farce by the cop-protecting/compromised exonerator.

A prosecutor DEPENDS on "his" police to obtain the prosecutor's quota, career-padding, crusading convictions.

Prosecutors present to a GJ what they think is enough evidence to convict (not to exonerate), and then it's sorted out in a trial (or plea deal).

Argument by popularity.

Cops just thinning out the herd tbh

You're clearly not and what I say is either true or not. Nice dodge though.

It should never have even gone to a grand jury in the first place.

You guys know how I feel about the Michael Brown case. I got to be honest with you, while Mr. Garner shouldn't have resisted arrest, what that officer did to him was MURDER imho. I genuinely feel for his family and I hope the cop gets a sentence for this.

The guy was clearly saying,"I CANT BREATHE, I CANT BREATHE"....and somehow the cop thought the better idea was to hold on and strangle him more?

don't you think every perp who resists arrest complains about not being able to breathe or something else on their body that's hurting them so you will stop trying to arrest them?
