In reply to the discussion: Shocking mistake in Darren Wilson grand jury [View all]NoJusticeNoPeace
(5,018 posts)42. DA used witness 10 as the main one to back up the story, yes "story" Wilson told
yet witness 10 made a huge change in his testimony
If you really care about the truth, or anybody reading this, you can find out what that was.
DA was OK with this one witness changing stories but not with anyone who backed the alternate details given by so many witnesses.
For me it is REAL simple, I watch a video of two out of town, completely non-invested contractors who are watching the shooting going down, they are on video watching it and they react or one of them does with his hands in the air with a frustrated body language as in why in the hell did you shoot him...
NOBODY is that good of an actor to create improve in the moment like that, there is NO question he is responding to seeing Brown with hands in the air
I saw him staggering and running and when he finally caught himself he threw his hands up and started screaming OK OK OK OK OK and then the three officers come through the thing and the one just started shooting, the worker told Fox 2`s Washington on August 12.

Who would cross examine in a GJ proceeding? The jurors are allowed to ask questions.

It's almost unheard-of to even allow an accused perp to appear on their own behalf before a GJ

If a prosecutor believes no crime has been committed or that he can't win in court,...

There is no defense present at a GJ. They are generally provided information only by the prosecutor

Wilson didn't really need to have a "counsel" present during his GJ testimony

My saying McCulloch 'instructed' jury to ignore evidence is my interpretation of his statement

What I have is my very opinionated interpretation of this portion of McCulloch's "explanation"
