Sources have told a Ohio news station that the evidence collected in the death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice does not support criminal charges:

The Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s investigation of the shooting of a 12-year-old boy at a Cleveland rec center does not support that a crime was committed, a source familiar with the case told newsnet5.com.

The Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office has turned its investigation into the shooting of Tamir Rice over to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office.

The source told newsnet5.com that the “investigation and evidence shows the lack of evidence to support that a crime was committed in the shooting of Tamir Rice.”

The Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office said that they do not decide whether a crime was committed or whether a shooting was justified in cases like these; rather, they present evidence and facts to the Prosecutor and the Prosecutor decides whether to present charges to a grand jury.

It’s very important to note that the final decision to prosecute is up to the prosecutor; the source is merely stating his or her opinion that the evidence does not support criminal charges… and I’d have to agree that that assessment in this tragic death.
