This Letter Could Restart The Case Against Darren Wilson
Source: Think Progress website noting NAACP letter
The NAACP Legal Defense Fund* wrote an open letter to Missouri Judge Maura McShane asking her to investigate Ferguson prosecutor Bob McCulloch and his team for misconduct. The NAACP notes that, under Missouri law, McShane has the authority to investigate McCulloch and appoint a new special prosecutor to handle the case against Darren Wilson. Such a move would effectively restart the case against Wilson for killing Michael Brown, after no charges were filed against Wilson during last year’s grand jury proceeding.
1. McCulloch and his team “knowingly presented false witness testimony to the grand jury.†McCulloch admitted this on a radio interview on December 19. The NAACP notes this is likely a violation of the Missouri Rules of Professional Conduct. Specifically, McCulloch allowed a woman to testify as an eyewitness who he knew was not at the scene of the incident and had a history of “racially-charged rants about the incident on the internet.â€
2. McCulloch and his team “presented incorrect and misleading statements of law to the grand jury and sanctioned unlawful juror practices.†Specifically, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Kathi Alizadeh distributed copies of a Missouri statute that was contravened by a Supreme Court decision 30 years earlier. When Alizadeh addressed the issue weeks later she said that the statute was “not entirely incorrect or inaccurate†but the grand jury should “disregard†it. At other times, Ms. Alizadeh seems genuinely confused about what legal standards were at issue and shared her confusion with the grand jury, including this remarkable exchange:

3. IMO the DOJ was there, simply to calm things down.
However- I did hear that the DOJ is still at it - in Trayvon Martin's case.
They did a ****ing great job of it.

IIRC, almost all of the witnesses who lied to the grand jury - I think there was just one exception - were "eye-witnesses" who accused Officer Wilson of shooting Brown, variously: in the back; while Brown was kneeling; while Brown was laying on the ground; while Brown had his hands in the air. All of which were proven false by forensic evidence such as the autopsy and crime scene evidence ... evidence the Prosecutor also presented to the grand jury.
Imagine the outcry had the Prosecutor not had all those known-liar witnesses testify!
The real beef the race-baiters have with what the Prosecutor presented to the grand jury is that he presented all the evidence, not just the evidence that would make an indictment likely. Well, gee! A prosecutor who wanted justice rather than an indictment? A prosecutor who wanted to be sure he had a solid case rather than one that would get laughed out of court in a criminal trial? How shocking!
IMO, unless the ACLU judge-shopped very carefully before making this move, they're going to have their all-too-substantial @#$es handed to them.

Yeah, not exactly...the false witnesses were some of the PRO-indictment witnesses, because McCulloch knew there would be Hell to pay and Holder's goonsquad would be right up his ass if he didn't present the 'Hang the cop' witnesses, even though he had reason to believe a lot of them were big fat liars.
