St. Louis Prosecutor: Key Witnesses Flip-Flopped
St. Louis County Prosector Robert P. McCulloch said that the most “credible” and “reliable” eyewitnesses all came to support Officer Wilson’s claim that he shot Brown in self-defense.
During St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert P. McCulloch’s press conference on Monday night where he explained why a Missouri grand jury decided that they would not indict Police Officer Darren Wilson for fatally shooting Michael Brown, McCulloch made shocking revelations about the testimonies of some of the key witnesses.
“The most credible eyewitnesses to the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., said he had charged toward Police Officer Darren Wilson just before the final, fatal shots, the St. Louis County prosecutor said Monday night” the New York Times explained.
That kind of testimony flies in the face of the accounts given by several eyewitnesses who spoke to news organizations immediately after Brown's shooting in August: that Brown had his hands up in the air, seemingly surrendering, as Wilson continued shooting. Apparently some of those witnesses changed their stories about what happened, or their version of events didn’t match up with the physical evidence.
