As more comes out about the murder and the trial, I'm still not (totally) convinced of Wilson's guilt, but I definitely think the grand jury was misled and that they should have voted to indict.

I recommend watching this and this. Two programs that should be mandatory for all US citizens. They give a glimpse of how arbitrary the justice system really is. People in this day have much more confidence in the state's case than they should. Reasonable doubt has seemingly gone out the window.

And when the state decides that a case is not worth perusing, well... you see the results.

What trial are you talking about?

Sorry, the hearing. Of the grand jury.
