No indictment in the mike brown case

[JoeRedskin]

Just was listening to the prosecutor, he relayed the following:

As to the forensic evidence,
- A bullet recovered from inside the vehicle, pointing downward into the armrest;
- Blood on Brown's thumb with powder residue inside the wound consistent with a close range shot;
- Blood on Wilson's collar and pants;
- Shots on Brown's body consistent with him being bent over in a running position.
- Blood was found 25' from the final location of the body (shot fired, blood spilled, Brown moves 25' closer to officer, more shots fired).

Wilson had injuries (not severe, but described by hospital records as redness and swelling) to his face and head.

As to witnesses, the grand jury heard testimony from several witnesses who had chosen not to speak to the media.

There was inconsistent testimony as to the whole "hands raised" issue. Witnesses were apparently all over the board as to where Brown's hands were. Up, out to the sides, balled in fists, etc.

Multiple African-American witnesses indicated that Brown was charging Wilson.

The testimony was apparently all over the board as to the events.

Bottom line, there was a ton of evidence reviewed by the Grand Jury and most (if not all) was released.
