Missouri Prosecutor Declines to Charge Officer Who Killed Michael Brown
“The question for this office was a simple one. Could we prove beyond a reasonable doubt that when Darren Wilson shot Micheal Brown he committed murder or manslaughter under Missouri law. After an independent and in-depth review of the evidence, we cannot prove that he did,” Bell said.
Describing the announcement as “one of the most difficult things I’ve had to do,” Bell said that his office conducted a five-month review of witness statements, forensic reports and other evidence.
What the . . . ?! This prosecutor is obviously just another racist a-hole who hates black people.
Meet Prosecuting Attorney for St. Louis County, Wesley Bell:
Oh. Nevermind.
This is a shitty thing to say. It's like saying "We all know he's guilty, but for . . . uh . . . reasons . . . we can't convict him. But you people know what's up, right?"
What can be the point of this statement except to further smear the reputation of Darren Wilson and boost Bell's political image? There is no reason to make this qualification. It's not as if key evidence is being hidden. It's not like Darren Wilson refused to cooperate with the investigation. This is why it sucks that public prosecutors are elected.
That “hands up, dont shoot “ hoax was incredibly damaging to the country.
