What if Officer Darren Wilson had been Indicted for the death of Michael Brown? How would the trial go? Would he Convicted, Acquitted, or would there be a hung jury? If He is Acquitted, would there be more riots?
Considering the situation regarding the case, I think its unlikely he receives punishment. From what I remember, existing evidence was in his favor.
I think it would become another CNN court drama and attract a ton of attention, obviously.
I think a lot of people would be upset by what they perceived to be someone being crucified by the court of public opinion.
I don't see this having any big effect on much of anything, though, other than seeing someone who is likely innocent being dragged through the courts, but it wouldn't be the first time this happened.
Considering the clear bias of the prosecution he almost certainly isn't convicted. Most likely both the defense and prosecutor do their best to stack the jury with sympathetic witnesses, and it ends up as a great miscarriage of justice regardless.
Evidence? Wilson's "injuries" weren't even real!
Yeah, its fortunate that Michael Brown had the good grace to not survive the encounter. We are spared the outrageous lies the thug would be telling. We won't get distracted from Wilson's complete and truthful recounting of the events.Considering what actually happened,
True that. Did you see the way the Cleveland police, from top to bottom, stood behind the cops that snuffed Tamir Rice, even when they LIED about everything they did? That video from a security camera at the park was decidedly inconvenient. The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor even produced a report that says the killing was justified. I wonder if that report explained why the cops felt the need to LIE in the encounter report? I'd guess they skipped that part.I think if Wilson were indicted, police everywhere across the US would let their displeasure be felt in a major way. What happened in NYC when they turned their backs on De Blasio after the murder of the two cops would be tame by comparison.
No matter what source you believe, Darren Wilson is a murderous, incompetent, moron. He blew someone's brains out and does not have any trouble sleeping (murderous). He let a flabby overweight teen male get unsecured hands near his service weapon (incompetent). Ok, "moron" is a medical term. Wilson is not a moron.If the authorities can't backstop a cop who plainly acted in self defense, God help us.
