Saw it here last night...
My theory on it was they told him he’d be charged with felony murder. So he flipped his story and he’ll plead to the theft only.
I personally think he helped assault Officer Wilson which would make him an accomplice and chargeable under the Murder 2nd statute.
So it would behoove him to assist the police in learning the truth in exchange for not being charged.
My theory.
They told him to recant the part about Mike not hitting anyone because the evidence to the contrary (the eye socket fracture) is just about to be released to the MSM. It has been on the net for two days.
If he continues to lie, no one will believe his story that Mike had his hands up and the officer shot him anyway.
They’ve already accepted the robbery gig, now they are accepting the punch in the face. The hands in the air is all they’ve got left, and Darion is the key on that, so he has to recant to make it look like the REST is the truth.
It is not, of course.
Related: Allegedly two of the other key witnesses recanted to a journalist, then took it back.
Anyway, that’s my 2 cents.
We will see.
That or Crump has talked to one of the other witnesses, and they've figured out that the lab may have found Brown's fingerprints and/or DNA on Wilson's gun. They already look stupid for having to walk back the "Wilson shot Brown in the back" story after the autopsy results were released.
Translated into MSM Friendly language: “They blackmailed the black kid to protect whitey”
