The prosecutor at the center of the Ferguson scandal has been accused of lying about evidence presented to grand jurors in an earlier case in which police shot dead two unarmed black men.
The explosive allegation is made in a court case that threatens to lift the lid on the final secrets of the investigation into the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown last summer.
The unarmed black teen was shot dead by Ferguson cop Darren Wilson, 29, on 9 August. Violent protests raged in the immediate aftermath.
Witness accounts that Brown had raised his hands and begged ‘Don’t shoot’ were later discredited but ‘Hands Up Don’t Shoot’ remained the banner under which protesters marched in November, when public fury reignited with the grand jury’s failure to indict Wilson on any charges.

The juror also claims prosecutor Bob McCulloch’s office favored witnesses who supported Wilson’s version of events

Now, State Prosecutor Bob McCulloch has been accused of using the secrecy of the grand jury to ‘cover up’ racism and inequity; of withholding evidence through ‘significant’ redactions in the public evidence dump; of falsely suggesting that the grand jury was unified in its final verdict and of lying before – 15 years ago – under uncannily similar circumstances.
The allegations are made by Anthony Rothert, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri in the case of Grand Juror Doe v Robert P McCulloch – an attempt by one of the grand jurors to be allowed to speak openly about what happened in the hearing.
Mr Rothert said, ‘Bob McCulloch has put out his narrative about what the grand jurors thought and it’s not accurate. He’s said he has released all the evidence but there are significant redactions and context missing.’
And it is not the first time Mr McCulloch has been accused of being less than truthful….more here
