Now that was dumb of me in this case.

A prosecutor would never bring this case to trial, as its not winnable. Even Jeffery Tobin of CNN, had to agree after he went through what was presented to the grand jury. He said though he agreed its easy to get an indictment if wanted, its also his duty to not bring forth a case to a grand jury, that they know they can't win. And Tobin said there is no jury that would convict. And he was solidly in the Brown camp until he went through the evidence. Specifically the forensics, and the 6 or so witnesses that were never in the media, that he didn't know about, but pretty much backed up the forensics and Wilson's account of events.
As for the DOJ bringing a case, that's just never going to happen. Their burden of proof for a civil rights violation is WAY higher than a regular trial. They have to prove that Brown was killed because he was black, and that Wilson sought him out for this reason. That is never going to happen in this case. There is just nothing in the evidence to suggest this was the case. Especially since the most vocal witnesses at the start, were proved to be wrong based on forensics, but many also recanted and changed their testimonies and facts came out, such as the autopsy.
I could see the Brown family trying a civil case though. Don't think they win, but that is at least plausible.
