So, in essence he’s saying they are foregoing a grand jury and going straight to trial. Correct?

Is that not what happened with Zimmerman?

No he is saying the shooting was fully justifiable and no grand jury is needed and would be a waste of time and money.

The article says Choi has charged the officer with 2nd degree Manslaughter and 2 felony counts of discharging a dangerous weapon. So yes, he skipped the Grand Jury, but I guess there will be preliminary hearings, discovery, lots of motions, and possible plea bargaining before an actual trial.

Zimmerman and all 6 Freddie Gray prosecutions bypassed the Grand Jury system. All ended in humiliating failures for the prosecution. Choi must like that sort of thing.
