Quote:The court system isn't in place just to cover bases. If the Grand Jury didn't feel like PC existed, then a jury definitely wouldn't be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, either. Besides, arresting someone without PC is violating their 4th Amendment. It shouldn't be done for the sake of being done, and his attorney would never let him touch the stand.

 

That's not how it works. The Grand Jury is controlled by the DA, they see only as much or as little as he decides they should see.

 

And if Wilson doesn't take the stand at least the jury can draw whatever conclusions it wishes.

 

I'm just saying there seems to be unanswered questions. Did Wilson look assaulted based on those photos? Was there conflicting testimony? Will we ever know what the heck happened?

 

All we have are Wilson's (self-serving and lawyered-up) statement. It's a shame. He certainly may have still walked after a trial; certainly seemed to have a good chance.

 

For the New York case - the City will have to pay millions to settle the civil case.
