St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch announced Monday night that a grand jury has decided not to indict Darren Wilson, a white police officer, in the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown.
In his statement, McCulloch emphasized the careful consideration that members of the jury had given each piece of evidence. He also stressed the many inconsistencies between various eyewitness accounts of the shooting and the physical evidence in the case.
“Physical evidence does not change because of public pressure or personal agenda,” he said. McCulloch concluded by appealing to demonstrators to continue the conversation started by the shooting, but to do so “in a constructive way and not a destructive way.”
