Chris Brooks was arrested in 2013 for drug possession and dealing. It was the arrest leading to the commendation given to Darren Wilson. Chris Brooks, and his attorney, are hopeful Darren Wilson will be unable to testify in his case – ergo acquittal.
What better way to gain acquittal than to tie up the primary witness against you. *ahem* DUH *ahem* And the STL Asst. prosecutor, too chicken sh!t to identify himself, has chattering teeth filled with PC angst, so he has to go out of his way to allow the circus to avoid the illusion of impropriety…
After all, these Ferguson protestors see Burning Crosses in the reflection of the sunrise on the Teddy Bear memorial. Not exactly the most acute or sensible amid the grievance class in the Missouri electorate, gnome sayin’?
CLAYTON, Mo. — A county judge on Monday approved a request by prosecutors to let a grand jury review a 2013 drug case in which an arresting officer was the suburban St. Louis police officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown last month.
An attorney for Christopher Brooks alleges Ferguson officer Darren Wilson “roughed up” his client after he refused to hand over the keys to a locked car parked in his grandmother’s driveway, where police say they found drug paraphernalia and several ounces of pot.
“Wilson is compromised as a witness,” said defense attorney Nick Zotos, who opposed the request by Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch’s office to shift the drug case to a panel that meets behind closed doors.

It wasn’t clear whether Brooks’ made the allegation against Wilson before or after Brown was killed, and the prosecutor’s office provided no immediate comment.
A police union attorney who has spent decades representing members of law enforcement in court told The Associated Press Monday that he represents Wilson, who is under a grand jury investigation over whether he used excessive force in the August shooting death of Brown.
James P.Towey, general counsel for the Missouri Fraternal Order of Police and a former general counsel for the St. Louis Police Officers Association, said Wilson may be willing to publicly discuss the case in the future. He declined to provide details of the whereabouts of Wilson, who has gone into hiding since Brown’s death.
Wilson, 28, received a Ferguson City Council commendation for his role in Brooks’ arrest in February 2013. Zotos questioned whether the honor was merited. (continue reading)
