Statements from Witnesses full of discrepencies.
It seems a lot of the "witnesses" out right lied.
Even if the prosecutor got an indictment, there is no way he gets a conviction. There are just too much evidence that the cop acted in self defense. I don't doubt that the prosecutor presented all the evidence he had....evidence which exonerated the cop and painted the cop as a cold blooded killer. I think the prosecutor did this because he doesn't want to take the case to trial.....not because he is biased toward the cop but rather he simply doesn't want to prosecute a case he knows he is going to lose.
I met with a prosecutor yesterday(for a traffic infraction) and basically told her..."hey...if we go to trial you're going to lose this case....and here is why". Next thing you know she hands me a motion to dismiss. I get it signed by a judge....file it with the clerk and the ticket is gone. Why was it so easy? Because the prosecutor doesn't want to waste her time on a case she knows she is likely to lose.
You pick your battles and this was an unwinnable one for the prosecution. He wouldn't have even brought it before the grand jury except that this was a racially charged situation and the mob had already convicted the cop. He was forced to bring this to the grand jury. He certainly didn't do it because he thought if he gets an indictment he gets a conviction.
And it is good that he did this because now we get to see all the evidence. You should be glad this particular prosecutor was transparent.

I know too little about the finer details of the American justice system to agree or disagree with certain points. But Kyle makes the point, that the case was rigged from the start with improper procedure and a biased prosecutor.
