Just a few facts about Robert McCulloch, the St. Louis
County prosecutor who handled the grand jury on the Ferguson police shooting
case.
McCulloch didn't ask the grand jury to consider any specific
charge against Darren Wilson, the white cop who shot Michael Brown, an unarmed
young black man, on Aug. 9. Although he’s the prosecutor, McCulloch abstained
from all prosecutorial leadership of the grand jury’s investigation. Keep in mind that a grand jury isn’t responsible for determining guilt
or innocence; a grand jury is only responsible for deciding that there is
probable cause for an indictment that will be adjudicated in a trial.
McCulloch has been the county prosecutor since 1991. During
his entire career, he has never brought charges against a police officer in a
shooting incident.
McCulloch’s father, a police officer, was killed in the line
of duty by a black man.
You make your own inferences.
