was the aggressor. That is the critical part of Wilson's account, when it comes to the critical issue of why Wilson killed Brown. Forensics did not corroborate that. Don't know if forensics even can tell who was the aggressor.

The other bit that was leaked early on was that Wilson had a fractured eye socket and that was false.

Even if true, no reason to shoot to kill after Brown raised his hands. djean111 Oct 2014 #2

That is the correct answer still_one Oct 2014 #4

correct, a rational person would realize that this cop got the shit scared out of him snooper2 Oct 2014 #12

"This evidence". What evidence? Do you think probable cause exists to indict KingCharlemagne Oct 2014 #16

I have no idea and neither do you because the results of the grand jury ARE NOT OUT YET snooper2 Oct 2014 #20

Please explain how a wound on Brown's hand corroborates in any meaningful way KingCharlemagne Oct 2014 #22

explain how a bullet going from the tip of your thumb toward your wrist is a defensive wound snooper2 Oct 2014 #23

yes, the "father of Europe" was an asshole and a fundie, sorry snooper2 Oct 2014 #27

Seriously? Erich Bloodaxe BSN Oct 2014 #46

Thank you. Depending upon how Wilson brandished his weapon at Brown -- and KingCharlemagne Oct 2014 #54

I'd love to see a reenactment, showing how he could grab a holstered gun inside an SUV arcane1 Oct 2014 #65

I've elsewhere called that scenario of Brown 'going after Wilson's gun' utterly KingCharlemagne Oct 2014 #68

there's a big IF there hfojvt Oct 2014 #34

you're still assuming that he did TorchTheWitch Oct 2014 #32

Has Wilson's actual account of the shooting been released? All I've seen is other people telling Arkansas Granny Oct 2014 #14

Good point. The sources of the leaks have not been named. merrily Oct 2014 #18

It was leaked to reporters for the NY Times last Friday in a late-night KingCharlemagne Oct 2014 #19

And the second/third hand retelling of "Wilson's account" Bettie Oct 2014 #30

I don't see how that couldn't be a defensive wound. Baitball Blogger Oct 2014 #13

the part that doesn't make sense though hfojvt Oct 2014 #36

Why do you assume the 'pull' was 'during the struggle', as opposed to what initiated Erich Bloodaxe BSN Oct 2014 #49

The difference in Wilson's account and the witness accounts is what troubles me. Arkansas Granny Oct 2014 #9

Yep. n/t Travelman Oct 2014 #66

No, it doesn't. All the autopsy report confirms is that Wilson's KingCharlemagne Oct 2014 #11

Most, if not all, the witnesses say there was an altercation at the car. But the autopsy does not Hoyt Oct 2014 #29
