” So when did Brown punch Wilson and
break his eye socket? Hard to do from 20
feet away. Just askin’.”
I’m more interested in this unknown and secret witness’ credibility. Why is it that this one should be trusted, but the others ignore.?
Some cop’s cousin?
Don’t blame me for not taking cops at their word. They are the ones that destroyed the value of that word.
Personally, I'm inclined to believe this account over the "hands in the air" narrative because this lines up with the autopsy report on Brown, and the other accounts do not.
You are correct about that.
“I’m more interested in this unknown and secret witness’ credibility.”
First off...as to the notion of his being ‘secret’. Why is he a secret? Well it could be because of the legions of rioters who would burn his house down if they knew his identity.
And that also answers the ‘why’ as to how come he waited so long to come forward. For all we know, he may have come forward the very day it happened...but didn’t advertise it to the media.
As to his credibility. First, his story makes sense. The original story we heard that Wilson gunned down a teenager in cold blood, without provocation, in broad daylight, when his hands were up, and his back was turned....well that story really doesn’t make sense. Even if Wilson were some type of predator hunting black teenagers, he wouldn’t practice his hobby in the middle of the day would he? So the ‘makes sense’ test is important, I think...and this witness makes sense.
Sometimes that all you can go on when evaluating the credibility of a witness.
