IF this happened in the NE people would be marching in the streets. They are more civlized down there in the South I guess. Which may be why these things can happen.
There is an old saying that a Prosecutor can get an indictment on a ham sandwhich.
I had a friend that has sat on a grand jury before and he said prosecutors never come in without asking for an indictment on a charge.
In this case it looks political. The prosecutor gets to blame the grand jury for not giving an indictment . . . and he knows most people will just accept that because they don't realize the system.
LEt me put it another way. There are soldiers detained and facing trial in iraq for killing insurgents that were playing dead when they are ina combat zone and facing people that have booby trapped themselves.
Police get a free ride in killing people if they claim they were "afraid" for their lives. And juries let them get away with it. Amazing stuff.
