Good. The entire case was handled backwards.

The problem in this case is the gross misuse of the grand jury process by the prosecution team to subvert justice and whitewash the cop who killed the unarmed man.

The prosecution did not present a case for indictment. This is what they always do, unless the accused is a cop. Instead, the prosecution presented a case against indictment. The opposite of what they are supposed to do. And this was done in secret, with the well-coordinated leaks to the media during the elongated process, and the document dump at the close. So the idiots in the press would be hard pressed to define a grand jury to bloviate on air and further cloud the issue.

This is as bad a perversion of the actual nuts and bolts of the judicial system as I have ever seen or read about. A prosecutor sole job is to represent the victim of a crime, as well as the public. Here, he was a defender of a cop who shot and killed an unarmed man physically separated from him by at least 100 feet; while prosecuting the victim.
