I was under the impression that if you have conflicting witness statements and other discrepancies which make accountability for a death difficult, you take the case to a jury trial and present all the evidence to that jury. I’m astonished that this prosecutor decided he’d just dump all the material which would normally be taken up in a courtroom trial into the hands of a grand jury. Has the “prosecutor can get a grand jury to ‘indict a ham sandwich'” rule been overturned?

If prosecutor McCulloch was serious in trying to find justice for the victim as well as the killer, I think he blew it.

I hope nobody else dies as a result of this decision.
