12610414, If he gets off, it'll be because the grand jury wouldn't indict Wilson

which is what ppl in Ferguson are preparing to happen w/this grand jury taking this long to decide if this case should go to trial

The "I thought he had a gun" defense wouldn't seem very plausible given the fact that several witnesses' story corroborate w/one another that Mike Brown was fleeing the scene and stopped and turned around w/his hands up to surrender once Wilson fired shots at him...

I don't see how a defense attorney can argue Wilson thought his life was threatened in any kind of way when Brown was running AWAY from him...
