Why Was Witness 40 Allowed To Testify?

Featured Replies

Seems like many witnesses "Made up" what they saw.

 

This is a perfect example of why all police shootings should be investigated independently and immediately. Add to that Federally. Eliminate all hints of impropriety and conflict of interest. Ferguson PD was about as inept as a department can be at handling this situation.

Ferguson PD did not investigate this. St. Louis County Police did.

Didn't FBI and others in the Justice Dept also get involved in the investigation?

Is testimony considered evidence?

I read that he knew/though that several witnesses were lying from both perspectives. But allowed them rather than to not allow them to testify and be accused of stifling evidence from coming forward.

 

Imagine the outrage if all witnesses that testified that Hands were up and he was on his knees when he was shot were not allowed to testify, even though the evidence shows that was a lie. Everyone would be accusing him of a coverup. Best to let jury hear it all and decide in this case it would seem.

Not an expert on the MO law. My guess is the why or logic is irrelevant.

No win situation given the amount of misinformation that was being thrown around.
