Forgive me if this has been discussed already...
Dorian Johnson better be very, very careful of what he says.
If the shooting of Michael Brown is tied back to the convenience store robbery, then by law, if Johnson was an accomplice in that robbery he can be charged with homicide in the death of Brown.
We had a robbery shooting here last year where four yutes from nearby Castro Valley tried to rob a local pawn shop. The owner shot and killed one of the robbers, and the other three ran away. They were all eventually caught and charged with robbery and homicide in the death of their friend.
Johnson could be in the same situation if the shooting of Brown was a result of the QuikTrip robbery that Johnson was also involved in.

How did Johnson get behind the car, but Brown did not?
The cigars were not stolen from the Quick Trip.
According to police reports released Friday, authorities received a 911 call at 11:51 a.m. on the day of the shooting reporting a robbery at the Ferguson Market. An unidentified officer was dispatched to the store, arriving within three minutes. The officer interviewed an employee and customer, who gave a description of a man who stole the cigars and walked off with another man toward a QuikTrip store.
Descriptions of the suspect were broadcast over the police radio. The officer did not find the suspects either on the street or at the QuikTrip, the reports said.
The robber took a box of Swisher Sweets, a brand of small, inexpensive cigars. The suspects were identified as 18-year-old Michael Brown and 22-year-old Dorian Johnson, according to the reports.
Separately, Wilson had been responding to a nearby call involving a sick 2-month child from 11:48 am until noon, when he left that place. A minute later, he encountered Brown walking down Canfield Drive. The documents contained no description of what happened between Brown and Wilson.
Yep, but I guarantee with the present Dept of JustUs it will never happen.
