Unfortunately the grand jury was used for cover in this case; the information presented was completely different from what is normal in these cases.
The grand looks at the evidence to see if the prosecution has enough to go forward, so normally no exculpatory evidence is presented (in fact the defendant is typically not even there). In this case the prosecutor examined Wilson and basically asked him prove that he (the prosecutor) couldn't make the case!
