-—What was your purpose for asking?
To sniff out a potential troll who could be implying that those of us on FR would not know about the divergent witness statements and were seeking anything but justice for the parties and the community..
The simple refutation to any defenders of Michael Brown and their citation of witnesses (many of whom were publicly cited by the prosecutor as inaccurate) is the physical evidence.
Brass casings locations show Brown was moving toward Wilson
DNA found inside the police car support that there was a struggle over the gun.
Wounds in the hand with close powder burns support that there was a struggle over the gun.
Blood spatter patterns support that Brown was moving toward Wilson.
No wounds support witness statements that Brown shot in the back.
Pattern of wounds support that Brown was charging Wilson
There are so many studies showing the unreliability of eyewitness testimony, and so many of the ‘witnesses’ regarding this shooting were motivated to condemn the policeman. We can all be grateful for the sufficiency of physical evidence to guide the grand jury in making their decision.
