Ferguson & St. Louis, MO -- Deaths and Protests

[Blindgreed1]

From what I gathered from the presser, the eyewittnesses made Wilson's case. Some changed their story, and the ones who didn't change their stories were deemed incredible based on the evidence.

You might be right.

I didn't get quite the same impression. I thought it was the physical evidence (the burn wound on Brown's thumb, etc) that made Wilson's case and that last night the prosecutor was explaining how that physical evidence was used to draw a conclusion in favor of Wilson, even though the conclusion conflicted with some of the initial witness accounts.

I think it was a totality of the evidence, including some details of witness accounts extracted during investigation, that lent credence to Wilson's version and prevented the grand jury from indicting him.

Hey, Duchess -- I just read Piers' opinion on the grand jury decision. I agree actually agree with him on a couple of points! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...story.html

I guess my point was that the evidence was stronger than any of the eyewittness testimony. And there was a lot of weight put into wittness testimony by the opposition (especially in the media... SHOCKER). So indirectly, the wittnesses that were going to get him convicted screwed the case, but I see we're off on a completely different topic now. Someone used the "N" word!
