Full airing of evidence in Brown shooting was overwhelming task

[loyalsister]

This article lays out what many of us have come to realize. The prosecutors buried the jurors with evidence- some of it not even relevant. Not to mention the inappropriate instructions. Is McCulloch so arrogant that he would assume no one would look at this stuff and be intelligent enough to pick up on what he did?

The three-month process was more akin to a trial, except there was no judge limiting what jurors could hear. And there was no opponent jumping up to object or to provide a counternarrative.

Jurors sometimes heard testimony that bordered on ludicrous. They also heard from witnesses who had already admitted they lied. The murkiness persisted to the end — even when prosecutors tried to instruct on the one thing that should be immutable: the law by which Wilson would be judged.
