Did anyone watch the announcement of the verdict? The prosecutor gave the details of the law concerning release of information on the Grand Jury - No names, no ages, no race, no details on votes except the final verdict. However, a couple stupid reporters would not quit asking for the names of the jurors, their race, and a detailed account of how each juror voted.
Also, just for the fun of it, I watched this on CNN. A couple of the talking heads ranted on and on and on that it was the prosecutor who came to this verdict and how he got it all wrong. The so called experts on several news programs this morning are talking about how this will be heard again at least three more times through the state and federal levels until they get it right. What ever happened to double jeopardy? Then we top it all off by the grieving family who has made it clear that they will get their justice and compensation through the Civil Court.
As I listened to the account of the police call and actions that night I thought to what we teach in carry class. The fact that once you use your weapon to defend yourself you will be labeled as the person who (insert whatever happened here). Officer Wilson has lost his career, his privacy, much of his personal safety, and will always be labeled as the "Cop who shot an unarmed black youth."
