No, I believe that a prosecutor presenting the evidence to a grand jury like he's the defense attorney is absurd and should be investigated. He didn't provide the jury with the whole story; he gave the jury most of the evidence and then spun the evidence to defend Wilson's story - that's the exact opposite of his job.1. As I said in a previous comment, I think it's commendable that a prosecutor would lay out all the evidence, including exculpatory evidence, so that the time of grand juries and courts isn't wasted first by only hearing half a story and then by having a trial where a conviction is impossible to get. From your words, you seem to feel that getting an indictment at all costs, even if there's no crime, is preferable - I disagree.
2. I certainly hope, if your assertions are true, that both the officers and the prosecutor were charged because perjury is a serious charge and shouldn't go unchallenged, at least in my view.
