I always said that anyone that make statements like that other person clearly didn't read the report or just blatantly ignore it. Good job posting it for them to read.

Conclusion: For the reasons set forth above, this matter lacks prosecutive merit and should be closed.
They should come up with a MB Memorial college scholarship so another kid might not be so stupid and make the same mistakes.
That's actually a great idea. Even if it only pays enough tuition to get one kid through community college, it would be an example of success, and a symbol of " what might have been."
The report only says there was no evidence to support a federal charge. It was almost entirely based on Wilson's own account of what happened with some corroboration from the physical evidence.
Quote:
There are no witness accounts that federal prosecutors, and likewise a jury, would credit to
support the conclusion that Wilson fired at Brown from behind. With the exception of the two wounds to Brown’s right arm, which indicate neither bullet trajectory nor the direction in which Brown was moving when he was struck, the medical examiners’ reports are in agreement that the entry wounds from the latter gunshots were to the front of Brown’s body, establishing that Brown was facing Wilson when these shots were fired. This includes the fatal shot to the top of Brown’s head. The physical evidence also establishes that Brown moved forward toward Wilson after he turned around to face him. The physical evidence is corroborated by multiple eyewitnesses.
Quote:
As discussed above, Darren Wilson has stated his intent in shooting Michael Brown was in response to a perceived deadly threat. The only possible basis for prosecuting Wilson under section 242 would therefore be if the government could prove that his account is not true – i.e., that Brown never assaulted Wilson at the SUV, never attempted to gain control of Wilson’s gun, and thereafter clearly surrendered in a way that no reasonable officer could have failed to perceive. Given that Wilson’s account is corroborated by physical evidence and that his perception of a threat posed by Brown is corroborated by other eyewitnesses, to include aspects of the testimony of Witness 101, there is no credible evidence that Wilson willfully shot Brown as he was attempting to surrender or was otherwise not posing a threat. Even if Wilson was mistaken in his interpretation of Brown’s conduct, the fact that others interpreted that conduct
the same way as Wilson precludes a determination that he acted with a bad purpose to disobey the law. The same is true even if Wilson could be said to have acted with poor judgment in the manner in which he first interacted with Brown, or in pursuing Brown after the incident at the SUV. These are matters of policy and procedure that do not rise to the level of a Constitutional violation and thus cannot support a criminal prosecution. Cf. Gardner v. Howard, 109 F.3d 427, 430–31 (8th Cir. 1997) (violation of internal policies and procedures does not in and of itself rise to violation of Constitution).

The report tells the entire story on what happened. It also goes into details with witnesses and evidence who also btw were part of the County process. It flat out tell how witnesses lied and others recanted their stories. They used the same evidence that the County had to make their decision. The entire point is to disprove Wilson own account on what happened which they couldn't do based on witness and evidence. It wasn't some corroboration from physical evidence it was full corroboration backing everything he literally said and witnesses that were literally right there that saw it.

By just reading your 1st sentence I can tell you have no concept of law or about the trial. Let alone have the reasoning to logically argue the details of the case.
Here's a piece of evidence for you. Holder wasn't there.

I have more concept about law and the trial than you do especially when you have a history of making assumption without knowing the facts. You have proven in many threads about this case how you lack any argument at all. All you have ever done is shown your failed agenda with this case in many threads. Here's a piece of evidence for you many witnesses were there and backed Wilson story 100% and many others witness including ones that got on the news either lied,recanted or just plain didn't see much. Why would Holder need have to be there when witnesses who ere there told us and ironic it backs Wilson story. Get over it

Credible witnesses who corroborate Wilson acted in self-defense --- Eight [8]
Credible witnesses who inculpate Wilson in criminal acts --- Zero [0]
I think a memorial plaque drilled into a road is a dopey place for a memorial, but perhaps appropriate in this case.
