Because it is easier to blame others for their problems than it is to blame the person who actually does the crime."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

Originally posted by JimL View PostThen so to would the fact that he just finished high school and was about to begin college. Besides, none of this matters if he was, as was testified to by many witnesses, surrendering with his hands in the air. If instead he was rushing headlong into gunfire to attack the officer, then the officer has a case for deadly force. But so far there is no evidence of that being the case.
The EWT in this case to date conflicts - other EW's have Brown charging the officer. The victim's family's autopsy conflicts with the 'shot from behind' (initial EW testimony) and with 'shot with hands in the air' so the forensic evidence does not support the EWT you've placed all your stock in.
