Is the prosecutor not supposed to sift through and give basic evidence to the jury for them to decide on "probable cause"? The more evidence that was handed over was actually to benefit the officer.
** I am adding this to each post so you can understand , I am on the side of the cop and understand the severity of their job (especially in certain areas of the US) / split second decisions they need to make. I just question some of the practices in the case in general for future cases moving forward.
