Apparently the prosecutors in the case basically lied to the Grand Jury in the case.

You only need to watch the first few minutes to understand what happened. The prosecutors gave the grand jury a statute(issued by the state of Missouri) that was found to be unconstitutional in 1985 right before Darren Wilson made his testimony... The unconstitutional statute essentially says the cop has the right to shoot someone that runs while they are being apprehended. Guilty or Not Guilty. The crime that the person is under suspicion for does not matter. It could have been petty theft, and if the person runs from the cop, the cop has the right to use deadly force.
However, as I said earlier, that statute was found unconstitutional in 1985. The prosecutor still managed to find a way to give it to the grand jury right before Darren Willson's testimony. Which means, the members of the jury are using this to see whether Officer Wilson is guilty or not guilty...
The prosecutor then tells the grand jury(while they are deliberating) that she gave them the wrong statute(that is part of Missouri Law, not a statute issued by the Federal Government itself), the prosecutor hands out the updated version of the which is not issued by the state of Missouri but the Federal Government. A member of the grand jury asks, "The supreme court, federal court overrides Missouri statutes?"... Most of us here know the answer to this. It's yes... We were taught this in US history or in a class similar. The Federal Government overrides the laws and statutes of the individual states. However the prosecutor answers the juror, "Don't worry about that.".
This case was over before it even started! I'm not saying I think Darren Wilson murdered this kid because he was a racist monster. I'm not saying Darren Wilson is completely innocent. I'm just saying the prosecutor essentially planted false ideas in the minds of the jury which they believed to be correct which completely changes the way the case may or may not be viewed.
