[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2673019, member: 7629"] must have done a really crappy job with my last post if that's what you got out of it? the tremendous effect prosecutors has on the outcome of any case can go both directions. for federal courts, grand juries in 2010 failed to indict in just 11 out of 162,000 cases. 410 "justifiable homicides" were reported by the FBI in 2012 with virtually no indictments of police for killing civilians. one cannot help but wonder if the difference is based on jurors being more inclined to trust police ... and/or prosecutors being less inclined to make cases aggressively against police .. and/or prosecutors being forced to bring weak cases against police, due to political pressure.
