November 11, 201411 yr You're starting to get irrational with your sweeping accusations. Had an indictment been issued, the case most certainly would have been tried in public, because that's what the U.S. Constitution mandates under the 6th Amendment: "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury ..." Private trials are what they do in totalitarian countries, not in the United States of America. You are also innocent until PROVEN guilty. Seems like way too many people are forgetting or ignoring that.
November 11, 201411 yr Public's right to know is far different from trying or convicting someone based on public opinion. The process I'm advocating -- an open "preliminary hearing" -- is standard operating procedure in many states. All the state has to show is that there's probable cause that said crime was committed. The more that justice is administered in open, the less we resemble North Korea. He would have to be charged and arrested for a prelim to happen and he sill has the right to waive the prelim to the grand jury. And the more we call for people to be charged and arrested even if the evidence doesn't support it, well you get my point.
November 11, 201411 yr When an officer of the law tells you to do something, you do it. Unless it is Santacon and you are this guy. LOL [video=youtube_share;HweEY0h-GLg]

And the more we call for people to be charged and arrested even if the evidence doesn't support it, well you get my point. Fair points. My beef isn't with the grand jury's decision ... but rather with the process ... which got off on the wrong foot when Kentucky State Police declined to conduct the investigation because too much time (125 hours) had elapsed before they were contacted ... and ended with a decision not to prosecute based on evidence presented behind closed doors.

If the end decision was to prosecute based on evidence presented behind closed doors would you be okay with that?
November 11, 201411 yr Apparently the DA went into it with the intent of proving Tyler did no wrong instead of doing his job and looking at the facts of the case as they were presented at the time he made the decision to fire on her. This was verbally stated according to Lisa Wells and that is what she had an issue with. She by no means was on one side or the other, she was speaking as a professional attorney and what should have happened. She also said that he unloaded the clip in her so unless someone shows me proof he didnt I will go by what she stated because she wouldnt say that on a 700 WLW broadcast unless she was privy to the information. So someone on the grand jury spoke to Lisa Wells concerning what happened in the grand jury room? I would like to hear an attorney's take on that as I thought that was a violation?
November 11, 201411 yr If the end decision was to prosecute based on evidence presented behind closed doors would you be okay with that? I'd still be raising some of the same points either way. An indictment, though, would have meant that the state's case (against the deputy) likely would have gone public at some point.

November 11, 201411 yr Witness: Deputy purposefully jumped on hood of car Pretty interesting to see what witnesses said. Also love how the title of the article states "witness said Brockman purposefully jumped on the hood" when passenger in the car said she did not know how it happened. Also first 2 witnesses admitted they were not sober.
November 11, 201411 yr If if goes to trial it doesn't end pretty. You've advocated that position a few times...I'll ask you and anyone on here again... What percent of blame goes on the young lady and what percent of blame goes on the deputy in your opinion based on the facts as we know them only?
