Ferguson Grand Juror Sues Prosecutor

One of the members of the grand jury that decided not to indict a Ferguson, Mo., police officer in the Michael Brown shooting has sued the St. Louis County prosecutor who oversaw the case, St. Louis Public Radio reported Monday.

The St. Louis County grand juror, who is remaining anonymous, alleges that prosecutor Robert McCulloch's "public characterization" of the grand jury does not reflect the juror's own views.

“In [the grand juror]’s view, the current information available about the grand jurors’ views is not entirely accurate — especially the implication that all grand jurors believed that there was no support for any charges,” the lawsuit says, per the news outlet. “Moreover, the public characterization of the grand jurors’ view of witnesses and evidence does not accord with [Doe]’s own.”

The lawsuit asks for an injunction that would allow the juror to speak publicly about the Brown case. The juror is being represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri.

The legal standards in the investigation of Officer Darren Wilson's August shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown were also "muddled" and presented in an "untimely" manner, according to the lawsuit.

“From [the grand juror]’s perspective, the investigation of Wilson had a stronger focus on the victim than in other cases presented to the grand jury,” the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit argues that First Amendment rights outweigh the typical rules of secrecy that regulate grand juries. The plaintiff also takes a shot at McCulloch's vow for transparency and his releasing huge amounts of grand jury documents.

“From [Doe]’s perspective, although the release of a large number of records provides an appearance of transparency, with heavy redactions and the absence of context, those records do not fully portray the proceedings before the grand jury,” the lawsuit reads.

You should be charged with impersonating a human that had a frontal lobotomy

All grand jury proceedings are one sided. They are just a tool of the prosecution to avoid liability for framing people.

This has been a sad day in American Jurisprudence. The system just does not work that well when a prosecutor does not seek justice, and has another agenda.

Hey here's your victim,however...

Not happy with the police because they shoot people resisting arrest... Not happy with the justice system because the grand jury didn't give an indictment... Sue the justice department because you don't feel like they're doing their job... If your law suit fails then what?... Burn the town down to the ground again?

It wouldn't matter if it was because you're simply trying to justify a miscarriage of justice by implying that the victim was a thug, but it's not him ....

here's a better picture of Michael Brown Joani robbing a store before he was shot.

I think the clerk should have shot his dumb ass.

Hey I don't need a goon to tell me this is wrong nor to see that the cure is lead..

Don't worry Black Justice was soon extracted...the store Brown robbed was looted and destroyed.....

That's nice.

Much like the Ferguson police who leaked that video to the press in an effort to malign Brown's character, before having to backtrack and admit that recorded incident was not connected to the shooting.

For someone who displays so much angst regarding the goon state, you sure like to carry their water when they shoot a black kid.

Good grief Sal, it has everything to do with Brown's character and his state of mind. He is not the gentle giant he was portrayed to be.

I get that.

Because if you could, you would see that this thread is about a prosecutor intent on subverting the justice system to protect a law enforcement officer at any cost.

The grand jury proceeding was corrupted so outrageously that we are seeing the truly extraordinary spectacle of one of the grand jurors actually suing the prosecutor for his misconduct.

If you could get past the whole "black thug" aspect, you could see that.

But alas, you can't.

No you are wrong..two wrongs don't make a right...there should have been a trial by all means and it should have been fair and all the facts presented and covered impartially.

If a cop had drawn his gun upon seeing the shop keeper being roughed up and robbed would the cop then have been allowed to shoot brown to save possible harm to the shop keeper...what if Brown had turned on the cop and barreled toward him at the store ?

It's likely Brown thought the cop that shot him had been called in because of the robbery and decided to resist arrest...

Should Blacks be allowed to live by the law of the jungle ?

When you hold blacks to a different law or standard you are being racist...if you say they can't be expected to behave because of "differences" ...that's really racist..prejudice...

You are still ignoring the fact, Brown after committing a strong armed robbery attacked a cop and tried to get his gun.

White thug, black thug or a thug in uniform.  There is NO difference.

We saw the difference in standards when Holder and his entourage of forty FBI agents didn't descend upon the head of the black police officer who shot the white kid for pulling a cell phone on him.
