As it stands now, the officer will have a near impossible chance at a fair, impartial trial, let alone in Ferguson.
Expect a change in venue, IF he is indicted.

Darren Wilson will be indicted and he will be convicted. Darren Wilson will serve his time in general population alongside black men he arrested, harassed and assaulted. Justice will be served.
In addition, Brown had marijuana in his
system when he was shot and killed by a
police officer on Aug. 9 ..
according to this person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation.

...Even if this is true, the moment the officer fired his pistol at a fleeing man and kills him, it becomes murder, not self defense.

I doubt wilson will see the inside of a jail cell and if somehow they did put him in jail it would not be in GP with the same people he arrested.
Prob go out of county

I would be willing to wager you had George Zimmerman hung before the evidence was gathered, and a jury was selected, as well.

And now another leaked report:

Good thing things like this are coming out now, so they can't be witheld by a judge, like they were in the TM case.

Your reasoning takes a leap between "fired his pistol at a fleeing man" and "and kills him"...
Furthermore - the only place the victim could have received a bullet wound...in the back...would have been to his right arm...according to the autopsy results.
If he was shot from the back in the right arm...and turned around and raised his arms/hands pleading for mercy, it is likely that the only such gunshot wound that would have allowed such a movement/posture, would have been the 'grazing' wound that has been mentioned numerous times in this thread.
I am not seeing the logic/reason or legal precedence for the remainder of your comment, either.
It entirely discounts the reports/interpretations that depict that the victim was 'charging' the officer...
Maybe we'll know more when more information is available.
