A prominent legal expert eviscerates the Darren Wilson prosecution, in 8 tweets

Following the grand jury decision in Ferguson, Missouri, prominent lawyer and MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Bloom argued on Twitter that St. Louis County prosecutors did a bad job questioning Ferguson Police officer Darren Wilson about the shooting of Michael Brown. She argued the questioning was basically a "tea party," far from the "grueling session" it should have been.

Read some of Bloom's tweets:

Most trial lawyers like me ENJOY cross-examination. It's where we can really go after inconsistencies and lies. Didn't happen in Ferguson GJ

So many missed opportunities for cross examination of Wilson. Should have been a grueling session, not the tea party the transcript shows.

How Wilson shd have been cross-ex'd: how did Brown solidly, "full force" punch you 2x in face, & yet you have no injuries to reflect that?

Key to cross-exam would be requiring Wilson to explain how Brown's allegedly taking one step toward Wilson is "charging" him.

Wilson testified he didn't think about whether Mike Brown was armed, but then he focuses on Brown's hand in waistband. Implication is weapon

A good trial lawyer doesn't assume. Wilson: Brown's hand in waistband. Make him say he feared weapon.Then confront him w prior contrary stmt

Hospital records for Darren Wilson's same day visit: "well-appearing, well-nourished, in no apparent distress." No one asks him to explain

Wilson hospital record: "no bleeding, no laceration, no ecchymosis [bruises]" A cross-examiner's dream, but no c-x of Wilson on this, natch
