What, the “AP” lie… who knew?

ST. LOUIS    •   An attorney for Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson and a St. Louis police union official both disavowed an Associated Press story today that claimed Wilson and his lawyers were confident that he will not be indicted.
The story quoted Jeff Roorda, business manager for the St. Louis Police Officers’ Association, as reporting after a meeting with Wilson and the legal team, “It’s fair to say that neither he nor his defense team expect an indictment.” The AP story later added the words, “offering his impression of the situation based on the meeting with Wilson.”
Roorda claims that’s not what he said.

Neil Bruntrager, one of Wilson’s lawyers, said they never discussed their impressions of the impending grand jury decision.  In fact, Bruntrager said the meeting with Roorda included discussions about making arrangements to post bail should Wilson be charged in the Aug. 9 killing of Michael Brown.
Bruntrager said no one but Wilson’s legal team, which also includes James Towey and Greg Kloeppel, is authorized to speak on Wilson’s behalf. Bruntrager said he was present for the meeting and that no such comments were made.
“If I was so confident, why would I be making those (bail) arrangements?” Bruntrager asked. “My client never said that and would never say that because … our only expectation that we would have is that they (the grand jurors) be thorough. Period. End of story.”
Roorda said he was “misquoted” and that he called AP seeking a clarification.  (more)
