Giuliani: Michael Brown Case Should Not Have Gone to Grand Jury

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani criticized the handling of the Ferguson shooting case on the Sunday News shows.

"I don't see how this case normally would even have been brought to a grand jury," said Giuliani, a former prosecutor, on Fox News Sunday. "This is the kind of case—had it not had the racial overtones and the national publicity—where a prosecutor would have come to the conclusion that there is not enough evidence to present to the grand jury."

"Attorney General Holder’s gonna have to take a case in which a jury couldn't find probable cause to indict, and he's gonna have to try to find probable cause in front of a federal grand jury,” Giuliani said. "It's an impossible case to present to a grand jury.”

And Giuliani did not back down from the controversial remarks he made the previous week on Meet the Press, where he said that black-on-black crime was the reason for more police presence in black communities. "The white police officers won't be there if you weren't killing each other," the former Mayor said.

"I think just as much, if not more, responsibility is on the black community to reduce the reason why the police officers are assigned in such large numbers to the black community," He added: "It's because blacks commit murder eight times more per capita than any other group in our society."
