In Ferguson, there are witnesses who say Brown had his hands up when he was shot. That should be enough probable cause to go to trial to then determine if Officer Wilson is guilty or not.

CBS exhausted the Texas courts. They went from the trial court to the intermediate court to the highest court.
I was a trial lawyer when I was elected to Congress.

You don't learn from a situation where you do something well. You enjoy it and you give yourself credit, but you don't really learn from that. You learn from trial and error, trial and error, all the time.
