re: #137 lawhawk

Wilson would probably have a lawyer by now, and his counsel would probably tell him not to say anything, to protect his rights against self incrimination. That would go for both the county and FPD reports.

The grand jury could call him to testify, but that again runs into his right against self incrimination.

But that doesn’t exclude the police from forming a report without him. There are enough details that could have been put together without Wilson’s statements. And where are the interviews with the other cops who were next to arrive on scene - nothing about securing perimeter, evidence, gathering cellphones, nothing.

Would it surprise anyone if the Ferguson police are trained to not file a report in a shooting that results in a death and the first thing you do is go silent and call your lawyer?

This all seems to be too well planned not to be planned.
