Re: NYPD officer in Eric Garner chokehold death not indicted by Staten Island grand j
Dude, stop spreading misinformation. When a coroner rules something a homicide, it just means the person didn't die of natural causes. He didn't slip off a bridge, die in his sleep, or take too many pills.
A coroner's job is just to give a scientific opinion as to the cause of death. We can clearly see in the video that the altercation lead to his death. It's not the coroner's job to determine whether there was malice involved which would be necessary for an indictment.
That's the job of the grand jury.
Not according to the corner, it was ruled homicide.
