Darren Wilson grand juror suing prosecutor for botching the case and putting Mike Brown on trial

Darren Wilson grand juror suing prosecutor for botching the case and putting Mike Brown on trial
Tom Boggioni * 05 JAN 2015 * Raw Story

In an effort to freely speak out on what happened in the Darren Wilson grand jury deliberations involving the shooting of Michael Brown, a member of the jury is suing St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch, saying he mischaracterized the proceedings after presenting a “muddled” case, reports St. Louis Public Radio.

In a lawsuit (pdf) filed Monday morning, the juror — described as “Grand Juror Doe” – claims McCulloch’s statements to the press following the announcement of no indictment against Wilson were inaccurate and that the juror would like to address those inaccuracies.

According to the lawsuit, “In [the grand juror]’s view, the current information available about the grand jurors’ views is not entirely accurate — especially the implication that all grand jurors believed that there was no support for any charges. Moreover, the public characterization of the grand jurors’ view of witnesses and evidence does not accord with [Doe]’s own.”

but I wonder why they couldn't find probable cause? PC is all they need and in all that was presented, why couldn't they find it or why putting Mike Brown on trial would negate the actual PC that exists?
