Sandra McElroy(felon), 45, gave several different accounts of the Michael Brown shooting to investigators.
Buying crack in da hood that day, I guess.
The "head-down, charging" was reported by multiple witnesses.
FYI
Well, in that case the GJ needs to go ahead and hand down an indictable finding against the obviously racist assassin Darren Wilson. Killer of innocent black youts.
“Hand down, pants up.” “Give a hoot. Don’t burn and loot!” “Don’t perpitrate, we’ll let you respirate.”
but how it will be used is the issue.
We used to have some general faith is a completed process, now it is all politicized.
Will Testify For Crack!
20% of cops killed on the job are killed by “unarmed” subjects who take their department-issued firearm or that of their partner.
Blood evidence in the squad car and a wound to the hand of Saint Gentle Giant proves that he tried to take Officer Wilson’s gun.
I wonder what would have happened to Officer Wilson had Saint Gentle Giant succeeded?
you do realize that this is meant to support the Leftist “gentle-giant-gunned-down-by-white-racist” meme?
I’ve read all of the eyewitness testimony. There were several credible witnesses that corroborate officer Wilson’s account, which is also supported by the forensic evidence. In contrast, all of the witnesses who claim that he shot him in the back have been proven wrong.
The forensics trump everything else.
The forensics show Brown’s blood some 25 yards beyond where he fell. Indicating he turned around and moved in the direction of Wilson.
Brown’s body fell, face down, pointed towards Wilson. Indicating that he was moving at speed.
The last couple hits to Brown’s body indicate that he was head down. Again, consistent with aggressive forward movement.
All of the forensics confirm Wilson’s story. They confirm the stories of several witnesses, while repudiating those of other withesses. Which demonstrates why witnesses are considered of lesser reliability than physical evidence.
At least Flaky Sandra had enough good sense to paraphrase other witnesses instead of making up her story out of whole cloth. Please be advised that some salty old prosecutors have been known to keep squads of "Fake but accurate" witnesses handy for putting away bad guys.
The good news is that this definitely puts "The Gentle Giant" back on the fast track to canonization, should revitalize the family memorabilia business, and allow Michael's putative Mom's BF back in his gang with no legal consequences.

The autopsy report supported some witnesses and undermined others. From the “report” it sounds like this particular witness, if she really is Witness 40, isn’t to be trusted. I doubt the GJ built its decision on a single witness.
That said, FReepers and conservatives are noted for their dedication to the truth. If Wilson were guilty of shooting a fleeing criminal then we should condemn that. All this race gaming has done is destroy a guys career and ruined a black commercial district for decades.
OK, so we throw out her testimony, and Dorian Johnson’s.
(oops, he recanted)
We still have other witnesses who said the same as her, and then there is the physical evidence which seems to correspond to the testimony.
This witness sounds like a fruitcake, but there were quite a number of witnesses. And hasn’t the testimony of all witnesses been released?
This article provides no context of how the testimony of this witness fits in with the overall testimony of all witnesses.

This witness was debunked in front of the GJ and played no part in their decision.
A number of people who post to the Conservative Treehouse were questioning her statement as soon as it was published. I did myself, because, although not much trips my BS meeter, it went off like a banshee on that handwritten “journal” thingie. For one thing, she uses phrases straight from the Treehouse speculation at the time. Don’t remember what else seemed wrong, but there were a number of things clearly “off” about her statement, off to the point that I could rationally peg them down.
OTOH, going on the physical evidence, her statement was probably more accurate in terms of what happened than some of the ones given by actual witnesses. It’s a lie, but it’s one based on the actual facts (memory serves, she also used phrasing from the Black Canseco video taken right after Brown was killed, where one guy in the background gives his version of what happened).
Color me skeptical.
I wouldn't trust the clueless "new media" to collect my garbage under any circumstances...

Did I miss something in the story, or shouldn’t the first question asked of this woman be “Why should we believe that you’re Witness 40?”
