This is the Missouri law about a police officer's use of deadly force:
563.046. A law enforcement officer in effecting an arrest or in preventing an escape from custody is justified in using deadly force:
"...(2) When he reasonably believes that such use of deadly force is immediately necessary to effect the arrest and also reasonably believes that the person to be arrested
(a) Has committed or attempted to commit a felony; or
(b) Is attempting to escape by use of a deadly weapon; or
(c) May otherwise endanger life or inflict serious physical injury unless arrested without delay."
In light of this law, the fact that Officer Wilson did know about the convenience store robbery, and the physical evidence there was no credible evidence remaining that Officer Wilson had broken the law. It was the prosecutor's discretion to give the remaining evidence (all the evidence) to the Grand Jury.
"All of these men were good listeners; patient men."
