St. Louis County District Attorney Robert McCulloch should recuse himself from the
Grand Jury proceedings into the shooting death of Michael Brown immediately.
When the Brown case has reached a final disposition, McCulloch will still have to work with St. Louis-area law enforcement. He can thus ill afford to be seen as seeking Wilson's indictment as aggressively as he would were the alleged shooter John Q. Public. Perceptions cut both ways. How can any African American or person of color trust the results of a Grand Jury presided over by someone so manifestly in the pocket of the cops?
It is in the best interests of all that McCulloch recuse himself immediately so that Governor Nixon can appoint a special prosecutor, one with no ties to St. Louis-area law enforcement to conduct the inquiry before the Grand Jury.
I am surprised that President Obama and Atty. General Holder have not landed on McCulloch like a ton of bricks to make this case already.
