Some witnesses speaking under oath before a grand jury investigating the shooting death of an unarmed black teen by a white officer told lies, St. Louis Prosecutor Robert McCulloch said Friday.
“Clearly some were not telling the truth,” he said in an interview on KTRS 550.
This was the first interview McCulloch has given since the grand jury decided not to indict Ferguson officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
“Early on I decided that anyone who claimed to have witnessed anything would be presented to the grand jury,” McCulloch said. He added that he would've been criticized no matter his decision.
In the interview, McCulloch spoke about a particular witness who “clearly wasn’t present” at the time of the shooting. He said the witness recounted a story out of the newspaper.

That's why there was a Grand Jury... to not waste the courts' time and vet out the liars and get a truth to what happened compared to the physical evidence.
ReplyDeleteTrouble is, too many race baiters outnumber intelligent people.
Or should I have used "their, waist, two, to..."
