Prominent Legal Expert Eviscerates Darren Wilson’s Prosecution In Just A Few Tweets
Lisa Bloom (daughter of Gloria Allred, btw) read the grand jury transcripts and sharply shreds the prosecution 140 characters or less at a time.
I’m ashamed of my justice system, so good at protecting authorities and celebs, so pathetically unable to give justice to African Americans

Mr. McCulloch: why did you talk about inconsistencies in eyewitness testimony but not inconsistencies in Darren Wilson’s testimony?
— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) November 25, 2014
An attorney who does not aggressively cross-examine the target of an investigation is an attorney who does not want to get to the truth.

Darren Wilson’s police intv: Mike Brown struck me in my face 10x. Wilson to grand jury: he struck me in my face 2x. No one points this out
— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) November 25, 2014
Darren Wilson testifies he is 6 foot 4. Yet he says he felt like a child up against “Hulk Hogan.” Mike Brown was also 6’4″
— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) November 25, 2014
Why are the names of the police officers who investigated Wilson redacted from the released documents? They are public officials.
— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) November 25, 2014
All of these months have only been about the tiniest little crumb of justice . . . Charging Darren Wilson so that a trial will follow.

I’ve said from the beginning that this case would be a “white wash” (cover up) and of course I stick to that observation. To “them” it did not matter what any witness said…it only mattered that DW got off. The prosecutor and governor are pigs just like all of the pigs on the Ferguson police department. I hope and pray that there will be a successful Federal indictment PLUS an expensive civil suit. This type of POLICE CRIME needs to end nationwide or else there will be hell to pay in the future as no one will be safe and a likely revolution or civil war will erupt. Think it won’t happen…think again…
edmeyer_able November 26th, 2014 at 10:42
A civil suit won’t punish the perpetrators of this injustice, only incarceration of the guilty will be satisfactory.

A Federal indictment and trial with a guilty verdict will is what we hope for but it is a long shot at this point…

more like a no point. Just like NEVADA’s failed overthrow of the US Government is no news to the Republican WHITE RACIST controlled ‘liberal’ news media with it’s 1000 plus armed white terrorist, armed by local police departments across America with US Military arms given to them to ‘protect’ US from foreign terrorist through WHITE RACIST hiding behind a PD badge like the little loud mouth punk from TN hid behind a military uniform to get his training. All the while Mr. Cool WHITE RACIST Senator Rand Paul (R) Kentucky (no doubt part of the WHITE RACIST REPUBLICAN POLITICAL support) soothing the people with his ‘they’re just like US’ Reichland BS.
Only way to turn things around now is in the streets -Resistance, civil disturbance that meets violence on an equal or greater basis.
Americans have lost too much in trying to appease this teabagger generation of WHITE RACIST with the true heart of NAZIS.
Here on out; they win, they get their filthy disgusting REPUBLICAN WHITE RACIST REICH – they loose, I’m for shipping their spoiled little overly pampered white asses off to China for perpetual rice field labor as part of the payment for Chinese Investment loses that will occur.
granpa.usthai November 26th, 2014 at 12:38
same as with the sorry sack of gz child murderer in Florida. Nobody even thought to ask how Trayvon’s phone landed on the ground -or what crimes Trayvon was engaged in at the time of his state sponsored execution. Only that a Latino thug with a WHITE MALE Florida DL would escape justice in the WHITE RACIST Republican controlled courts. Same with the FAILED attempted overthrow of the US Government in Nevada backed by the WHITE RACIST REPUBLICAN FASCIST in the US Government.

What happened in Ferguson with the “grand jury” was expected, but we all hoped it wouldn’t be. We as a nation how not gone forward in the 21st. century but back into the 19th century. I guess history is repeating itself.

Sorry, but I’m not seeing any glaring inconsistencies other than punched 2 or 10 times. If I were looking at the evidence and saw those statements ( which I have) I’d go to the multiple eye witness statements ( the ones that stayed consistent throughout) and see how much weight to give his testimony vs. initial report 3 months earlier. If the eye witnesses tell a significantly different story then there would be doubt.
edmeyer_able November 26th, 2014 at 12:26
Witness #10 which mcculloch quoted throughout his diatribe changed his initial distance from 100 yards down to 50 yards. He also changed his story from walking on the sidewalk to near the curb. Would you consider that to be RELIABLE . Read more of Lisa Blooms critique of the gj., Then come back when you’ve availed yourself to the facts.

“All” the evidence wasn’t exactly presented, if you take into the account the “Inconsistencies.”
I’m going to type this slowly for you because you appear to not understand what’s happening. It was fixed. The prosecutor refused to recuse himself. His murky past is well documented. Google his f*cking name and see the b.s. that pops up. We knew the stage was rigged. Why do you think we all knew what the GJ decision would be before he announced it? I wrote the decision before it was announced. I just didn’t hit ‘publish’ until he said it.
And for the record, if this happened to you, we’d all have your back even though you could care less about justice for others.
