I agree. I just read the article and I don’t find that wording either. Did they leave something out that Newser reported? Or, in light of no report of there being powder burns, did they just conclude that Brown was beyond the distance of getting powder burns?
Baden had no access to the clothing, so he can only say the shots weren’t from very close range.
And he can say overall that no powder burns were on the body.
Johnson says that Brown was hit by a close range shot at the vehicle, though.
