The drug bust that earned Darren Wilson his special commendation may go up in smoke because Wilson won't testify. Wilson failed to show up for the preliminary hearing today. Now the case is going to be presented to the grand jury — the same grand jury that's handling the Michael Brown case — and Wilson's attorney says Wilson has no plans to appear for the drug case, so it will likely be tossed.
Drug case that won Darren Wilson an award at risk
Perhaps Wilson doesn't want the grand jury to ask about the suspect's version of events, which is that Wilson “beat my ass in my front yard while I was handcuffed then gave me 6 felonies.”
UPDATE: As lina noted in the comments, this is a different grand jury. I was confused because the first article I read about it, an AP article, made it seem like the same grand jury.
Here's a longer AP article with some additional information:
