and as shady as his action was i doubt it rises to the level of actual prosecutorial misconduct. unfortunately. so i don't see any action to be taken against homeboy. and i doubt Missouri's attorney general is working hard to find a charge to levy against him either. but maybe.

usually p-m cases arise out of false convictions secured via prosecutorial shenanigans. that's not the case here - no defendant was wrongfully convicted. which is why i doubt much of anything will happen to McCullough. hopefully he loses his next election. that's about all i see coming for him. hopefully there's som'n out there i don't see.

as for how often this happens - we pretty much already know it happens routinely with police defendants. GJs almost never issue indictments in cases w/a police defendant. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/08/nyregion/grand-juries-seldom-charge-police-officers-in-fatal-actions.html?_r=0
