Well, my house is still safe. I called a neighbor a little while ago and asked. That doesn't mean I'll get past Round 2, 3, 4... 99% of all the crap happened around the main streets in town where the media was. I'm making a trip up to it and get the last little things out of it that I'm wanting to keep. I'm sure glad they listed to Brown's parents and protested peacefully.
What was really bad about it, Gov. Nixon didn't have the National Guard come out and help the police control the violence. On the news this morning, the County Police Chief said that he couldn't believe the amount of burning and looting that took place. This moron must have fallen down and hit his head on the concrete about 15 or 20 times.

Interesting...but not earth shattering. Curious as to why Brown's lawyer wouldn't have tried for more black jurors ? Perhaps easier to "pass blame" when you don't win ???
Thanks ray

That is because it wasn't a trial it was a grand jury proceeding. There isn't a judge present in a grand jury proceeding. The proceeding is run entirely by the prosecutor. Regardless of how you feel about the facts of the case it was a rigged game. In a normal grand jury proceeding grand jurors are just given the bare outline of the case from the reasons to indict point of view and the prosecutor recommends the charges.
The role is not for the prosecutor to present reasons not to indict the accused. The grand jury isn't supposed to weigh evidence for and against that is the role of the trial jury. The grand jury's role is to simply determine looking at the facts from a worse case point of view for the defendant is there enough evidence to go to trial?
In this case prosecutor took on the role of defense attorney and presented reasons not to indict the accused, and that was a gross miscarriage of justice, and a deviation of how ever other criminal case is handled in that state and most others.
The case should have went to trial like any other, but the refs jumped in and sabotaged the case making sure it wouldn't never get in front of a jury where both sides of the case would have been presented.
Your analogy of blaming the victim for not winning is invalid as the victim's team was never given a chance to get out on the court. It would be like if you were on an away basketball team headed to your game in a bus and half way there the referees are out in the road, they stop the bus and then they flatten all the tires to keep you from getting to the game.
FYI: Grand Juries also don't require unanimous opinions like a normal jury trial does.
I argue given the unusual nature of this proceeding it looks exactly like Mississippi in 1967.Quote
