DARREN WILSON TO FACE NO CHARGES

The New York Times is reporting that the U.S. Justice department is preparing a memo recommending that no civil rights charges be filed against Darren Wilson, the Ferguson MO. police officer responsible for the death of black teenager Michael Brown.

WASHINGTON — Justice Department lawyers will recommend that no civil rights charges be brought against the police officer who fatally shot an unarmed teenager in Ferguson, Mo., after an F.B.I. investigation found no evidence to support charges, law enforcement officials said Wednesday.

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. and his civil rights chief, Vanita Gupta, will have the final say on whether the Justice Department will close the case against the officer, Darren Wilson. But it would be unusual for them to overrule the prosecutors on the case, who are still working on a legal memo explaining their recommendation.

A decision by the Justice Department would bring an end to the politically charged investigation of Mr. Wilson in the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown. The Missouri authorities concluded their investigation into Mr. Brown’s death in November and also recommended against charges.

This is the Eric Holder Justice Department.  I am wondering if this latest development will alter the narrative.  I think we all know the answer to that question.
