St. Louis Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch didnt need to - TopicsExpress



          

St. Louis Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch didnt need to convene a grand jury to hold #MikeBrowns killer accountable. He couldve charged him immediately. But according to Slate his decision to convene a grand jury was an entirely cynical move designed to insulate him from the political fallout of any grand jury decision. Slate also made this powerful observation about the grand jury process: state and federal laws, as well as union rules and department regulations, conspire to afford law enforcement officers with due process protections ordinary citizens can only dream of. Moreover, the politics of prosecuting police are deeply fraught for district attorneys who rely on cops to obtain the convictions that win the DA elections. Was McCulloch protecting Officer Wilson or cowering to the police union when he convened this unnecessary grand jury and left it up to them to piece together evidence? What do you think?
