Going to be interesting what the parents put out there to support their side.

That's bullshit. "Violations of civil rights" laws are weak thanks to the white supremacists who run Congress, which ties the DOJ's hands by design. "Wrongful Death" civil suits are easier to pursue.

Wilson acted in self defense or he didn't, and the DOJ found he did. That has nothing to do with Congress.

required by the prosecutors based on the current law as written. I.e., the "high bar", in essence, the intent as a (racial) hate crime (e.g., if Wilson had been a KKK member, that would have helped in this instance). And you also had the unfortunate situation of witness testimony that ended up all over the fucking place (i.e., some witnesses who claimed to be there and weren't, etc.)... so the case was doomed from the start.

What do lying witnesses have to do with Congress?

You simply dodged the question by asking me to study civics.

They would have to drop him from the suit to compel him to testify.

And I don't see how the Browns can overcome the physical evidence to prove this case.

I just don't want them to owe money to Darren Wilson at the conclusion of this trial, which they are far more likely to lose than Wilson.

I suspect Wilson has already put most of his assets and property beyond the reach of a lawsuit just in case he were to lose.

To transfer everything to his wife.
