Ferguson Verdict

Throughout all of the Ferguson presentations, it is clear why a verdict of not guilty was reached. It seems that every witness and testimony provides slightly different evidence which is inconsistant with the previous and following witnesses. Even if there is compelling evidence that supports the suspect being guilty, if that evidence remains inconsistant with seperate sources, it is tough for a jury to find the suspect guilty. Evidence needs to be consistant in order to convict someone. As we saw in the Ferguson case, and the O.J. Simpson case, evidence provided was very inconsistant among witnesses, therefore the legal system could not find Officer Wilson and O.J. Simpson guilty of murder.
