In other words, Michael Brown could have done something most of us consider very bad, and still not have committed an A or B felony. Personally, I’m convinced he DID have something on his record that most people would consider a serious crime; otherwise they would have told us what’s on his record/that his record was clear. My money is on Burglary in the Second Degree (which I would consider serious) or Felony Possession (which I would not consider serious), or both.
Although Assault on School Property wouldn’t surprise me.
So the “officials” gave a clintonian statement about his record and left out C and D and misdemeanor possibilities A? That means he really was a known goon to the local system-—though maybe not to Wilson himself.
Be nice if some insider could fish through the local arrest or court records and let slip to the public any finds but I’m sure that would be against a law.
I read elsewhere something about a murder he committed as a juvenile. Could that have been Involuntary Manslaughter. Anyone have more information on the juvenile record?
