Well, he's a good boy today at least.

I am a lawyer, though not a Missouri lawyer, so my opinion still means no more, and no less, than yours on this point.

Immediate flight (in most jurisdictions) typically refers to the period between when the alleged perp leaves the crime scene, until the perp reaches a “place of safety.” It’s a highly fact-specific, case-by-case determination, but I think it would be difficult to argue that he was still in “flight” from the robbery some ten minutes later, calmly walking down the street and not being pursued by anyone.

Re: point 65, I have no knowledge of the Missouri rules of evidence, so I couldn’t even begin to speculate on whether the juvenile record would be admissible in a potential prosecution of Wilson. In many jurisdictions, it would be (evidence of prior bad acts are often admissible to show that an alleged victim was in fact the aggressor), but again, I have no idea how Missouri handles this (or how they handle sealed juvenile records, etc.).

You’re correct.

One could see it in his eyes in the still social media photos and by his actions against the store owner after he robbed him of his property.

It was still the cops fault. He did not accept his black beatdown properly. Ever since the Zimmerman case the laws have been changed making iit a federal offense for any white or white Hispanic to defend themselves as it is a racist act.

That sounds like the way it probably played out to me. But why would many people believe a white policeman would simply get out of his car and gun down a black youth for no reason in the middle of the afternoon with many black witnesses around? The original narrative from the libs and race-vultures was so insipid only complete dopes would believe such a witless story.

If confirmed, I suspect another truth and justice riot will be in order.

Johnson? Isn't he the MS election blogger who crowed big-time about how awesome it was that Foley got beheaded by ISIS?

Gonna wait for confirmation for another source before I get behind this one.

Hey,thanks much for your input.Would you care to comment quickly on how the existence of a serious juvenile record (if one exists) might play out in a *Federal* trial?

If his parents knew this and didn’t make it public, why, that’s just beyond the pale.

If he had such a charge hanging over him, it could explain why he would be so violent to avoid an arrest.

The police dept did themselves no favors by not releasing what happen. Still have not seen the officers injuries.

If true I make two predictions;

1. The police will be blamed for racism when they release the report.

2. The police will be blamed for racism for not disclosing the report immediately.
