The big evidence was the blood trail which went past or away from Wilson, and far *past* were the body fell on the street.
This clearly proves the suspect turned around and headed back towards Wilson and totally supports the witnesses who were telling the truth.
“The bitter irony of the Michael Brown case is that if he had actually put his hands up and said don’t shoot, he would almost certainly be alive today”
Bitter? Who’s bitter? It’s more of a “teachable moment”.
Has anyone seen or heard about a toxicology report on Michael Brown?
Yes, the tox report is in the evidence released by the prosecutor.
At the end there is a note that due to a certain substance appearing in the cannabinis materials, Brown was in a state of “impairment”.
The initial altercation
Johnson: Wilson reversed back quickly, screeched to a halt and said: ‘What the f*** did you say?’
Wilson: Reversed back calmly and asked: ‘Hey guys, why don’t you walk on the sidewalk?’
The tussle in the car
Johnson: Brown was never inside the vehicle, never punched the officer and did not have his hands on the gun. Wilson had his hands on Brown’s neck. Wilson: Brown suddenly punched him and ‘completely overpowered’ him before grabbing his gun and turning it towards the officer’s hip.
The pursuit and the shooting
Johnson: Brown ran off three car lengths and stopped as the second shot hit him in the back. He turned around and was ‘riddled with bullets’ before he could move.
Wilson: Claims he only fired when Brown was facing him. Says Brown kept running towards him and would not stop until the sixth round went into his body.
Were Brown’s hands up?
Johnson: Yes. One hand was raised slightly above the other. Wilson: No. Says that it would be ‘incorrect’ to say that.
The justification
Johnson: It could have been resolved without deadly force. Told the jury: ‘We definitely wasn’t posing a threat to his life’.
Wilson: Says he acted within the law because he was in fear of his life. Says his conscience is clear: it was him or me.
