BREAKING: Mike Brown Allegedly Involved in Second Degree Murder Case as Minor

By Reagan Wilson on August 29, 2014

Charles C Johnson, a freelance journalist who has been covering the Mississippi Senator race better than anyone in the mainstream media, Daily Caller contributor, TheBlaze contributor, National Review contributor, author of “Why Coolidge Matters”, and the guy who did the research to debunk Everytown for Gun Safety’s school shooting map, seems to have information that Michael Brown, who was shot and killed by law enforcement in Ferguson, Missouri earlier this month, may have been involved in a murder case as a juvenile.

According to AOL News,

An explosive new lawsuit filed in St. Louis seeking the release of Michael Brown’s juvenile criminal record alleges the slain teen was a gang member and faced a second degree murder charge.

The citizen journalism website GotNews took St. Louis County authorities to court Wednesday to secure the release of the records because it believes they do not need to be kept private since he is no longer alive.

The unarmed Brown was fatally shot earlier this month by white Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. He has no criminal record as an adult, but only because he had recently turned 18, claims GotNews Editor-in-chief Charles Johnson.

I don’t think you are going to get results arguing that the confidentiality can be breached because he has died.

There is precedent in Missouri for it which Johnson is using to argue for release. It was a similar case where a cop killed a young guy and the parents fought against the release of the son's juvenile record and lost.

Because the parent of the juvenile was suing someone and the defendant was the one requesting the records. The Missouri statute says that juvenile records can be opened only on the order of a judge and only to persons having legitimate interest therein. I don't think an internet tabloid will be found to have legitimate interest.

Was there ever any verifiable proof of the ‘fractured orbital eye socket’ story? From what I’ve heard it was all based on some caller to a radio show.

Nope, no proof.
The original story was based on a person named Josie calling into a radio show (can't remember the name), who said she was a friend of Officer Wilson and that Wilson had posted about having a fractured orbital socket on FACEBOOK, of all places. No verification or anything, of course.

Would've ended there, but then Jim Hoft picked it up and ran with it, doctoring a University of Iowa test medical X-ray to pass it off as Wilson's, and sold it to every news agency and pundit he could find, saying it was leaked to him from the Ferguson DA. Total fraud.

I don’t think this can be true because his parents said they had seen no evidence that Michael had an ‘aggressive temperament’.

His parents, you say?

I say, before the state hands out the millions in damages "his parents' are salivating over.....they better check the DNA of all concerned.

Dollars to donuts, the guy living w/ his mother is not Mikey's daddy.

When there's proof, let me know. I won't be shocked.

Until there's proof, I keep thinking about the other criminal record presented as Michael Brown's and posted on FR. It was bogus. If this is as fake as Brown's previous 'criminal record' (or the CT scan of the orbital fracture), I won't be shocked either.

Probably will eventually be released but you don’t want to influence the grand jury...if there is one.

I doubt we’ll ever see this thug’s records.

I think it’s BS to seal a minor’s records. They need to learn early on that it matters.

There's a grand jury but it only meets like once a week. It'll be months before they return a decision. By then the judge will probably decide that the need for the information, if ever justified to begin with, has long since passed.

Recent spate of shootings called ‘open season’ on law enforcement
By Joseph Serna
August 27, 2014

Gunmen have shot at peace officers at least four times over the last eight days – a pace that has a Los Angeles County union official saying it appears to be “open season” on law enforcement.

Joseph Serna, Richard Winton, Cindy Chang

The latest shooting broke out Tuesday night in San Pedro, when a man allegedly shot at two LAPD officers. Though no officers were hit, it was a different case just hours earlier in Lynwood, when a sheriff’s detective was shot in the shoulder.

"If you want to support the lawsuit, please feel free to contribute here..."

So now we know why…

In today's world where the "Free Press"
is controlled by the Regime in Washington DC,
reporting has to be funded by citizens.

That's an additional pleading. The original complaint is here.

Here are the grounds for the initial lawsuit:

(Paragraph 28 of the Complaint): If Michael Brown's juvenile arrest records show he was once charged with second-degree murder, as rumored, that "fact would be evidence to be weighed in the court of public opinion both domestically and abroad."

I'll take losing legal arguments for $800, Alex.

The second pleading is a Missoui FOIA pleading.

Yep it ain’t cheap and every attorney in the country would jack up their fees in anything related to a high profile case like this one.

If I were on the jury I would ask for the record as a means of judging behavior based on past behavior.

A single high profile case made Geoffrey Figer a millionaire and he didn’t even win.

On FR it was reported as fact and on the eye-socket injury x-ray was always identified as belonging to someone else. . .best I recall.

We don’t know if the reported injury was ‘fraud.’
