It's pretty hard to determine any "fact" from the press conference. It's obvious that the prosecutor had one objective: to try to sway public opinion in favor of a man he believes to be innocent. In 2010, there were 162,000 federal grand juries convened (there is no data on state grand juries). Know how many voted to NOT go to trial? 11.
This should have been decided at trial. I believe the officer would have been NOT GUILTY, but it should have gone to a process that had both sides ... and it shouldn't have happened in Ferguson. That prosecutor's office is obviously very biased. 14 suspicious officer-caused deaths, 4 grand juries, 0 indictments.
The media outlets are ripping the prosecutor and the whole process a new asshole right now, and I have to say: that's justified.
