- kortilla 6y agoSo you’re positing that the expert witness committed perjury and that Uber secretly told the driver that it was okay for her not to pay attention to what the car was doing?
- vmception 6y agoMiscarriage of justice possible, perjury not necessarily. I don't even know if an expert witness was there, thats how grand juries work. And that a corporation didn't tell a full truth and threw an "maybe employee" under the bus? Not really that much to "posit".

- brokenmachine 6y agoI thought it was very interesting that the police chief came out immediately blaming the pedestrian and saying the crash was unavoidable. When I saw the dashcam footage, I just thought to myself, I probably would have avoided that, had I been driving. I've watched my own dashcam footage before and people on the periphery come out less visible than in reality because the headlights blow out the video - the camera has less dynamic range than our eyes.
- baddox 6y agoI acknowledge inefficiencies in the system but I also suspect that grand juries usually consider the most basic relevant facts of the case.
- vmception 6y agoGrand juries consider the local laws as worded and the instructions they are given by the state which can be plain wrong, it is inherently imbalanced and is a common area of review when looking at miscarriages of justice.
