English term or phrase: to look away
“Physical evidence does not look away as events unfold,” he said.
Mr. McCulloch also pointed to inconsistent and changing
statements from witnesses, including observations about the position of
Mr. Brown’s hands. Some witnesses have said he had his hands up as
the final shots were fired. The prosecutor, who had faced widespread
calls to recuse himself after opponents cited what they called flawed
investigations, took the unusual step of directing his staff to present
“absolutely everything” — rather than a witness or two — to the grand
jury.

UWAGA:
'wracać wstecz'to zwrot ryzykowny- tak jak " cofać sieedo tyłu" lecz w pewnych sytuacjach ma szanse bytu.
