ST. LOUIS – Attorneys for Michael Brown’s family say the process that led to a white officer not being indicted in the fatal shooting of the unarmed, black 18-year-old was unfair and broken.
Attorney Benjamin Crump said Tuesday that the family’s attorneys objected to St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCullough’s decision to call a grand jury in the case and not appoint a special prosecutor.
Crump also said, “We could see what the outcome was going to be, and that is what occurred last night.”
Attorney Anthony Gray said the decision was a “direct reflection of the presentation of the evidence,” and criticized what he called “cynicism” in the questions found in the grand jury documents, which were released Monday night.
Brown’s father, Michael Brown Sr., and the Rev. Al Sharpton were on hand.
