Dorian Johnson was singing like a bird of his first hand account of the situation, gave a full interview with CNN on tape and didn't bother to mention this so called "was struck in the chest or upper region [by the first shot in the car] because I saw blood splatter down his side, his right area". This would have made a bigger impact on his lies that Brown was shot in the back while holding his hands up, which also did not occur.
Do you have anything to back up, that Dorian Johnson's account that Brown "was struck in the chest or upper region [by the first shot in the car] because I saw blood splatter down his side, his right area" ?
Thanks for the link and yes indeed Johnson said it, but it's been proven to be wrong, Brown had no chest wounds. Appears Johnson enhanced the story for CNN, "I look in his window and I see he has his gun pointed at both of us. And when he fired his weapon, I moved seconds before he pulled the trigger. I saw the fire come out the barrel, and I instantly knew that it was a gun"
Strange how he 'instantly knew it was a gun' when seconds before he saw the gun pointed at both of them.
Johnson also said " At no point in time did they struggle over the weapon" when we now know Officer Wilson had a swollen face, which appears to be from a struggle.
Johnson also said to CNN -- "we were running, and I was able to hide myself behind the first vehicle that was up on the scene. And the officer then got out of his car. My friend, Big Mike, was still running, he ran past me and saw me in plain sight. He said to me verbatim -- he said, "Keep running, Bro," and he kept running,
And he fired a second shot and that struck my friend, Big Mike. And at that time, he turned around with his hands up, beginning to tell the officer that he was unarmed and to tell him to stop shooting. "
Yet no gun shots were found in Browns back, as Johnson said were fired before Brown turned around.
Dorian Johnson's creditability was lost when he thought the no one saw what happened in the neighborhood that fatal day.
Actually, Johnson did mention that MB was shot in the chest in every interview I saw.....and the 'preliminary autopsy' does confirm that MB was shot in the upper right chest near his armpit......and another witness, Piaget Crenshaw also saw MB get shot when the cop was still in the car....and the police did confirm that a shot was fired inside the car. Really, the only evidence missing is Darren Wilson, the cop who shot dead an unarmed teenager for jaywalking.

Agreed. ALLEGED jaywalking.False.
Agreed. ALLEGED jaywalking.
Is that the story? The back shots missed? :lamo
What happened when Michael Brown met Officer Darren Wilson - CNN.comJosie: "Michael takes off with his friend. They get to be about 35 feet away and Darren [Wilson], of course protocol is to pursue. So he stands up and yells, ‘Freeze!' Michael and his friend turn around and Michael starts taunting him. ‘Oh, what are you going to do about it? You're not gonna shoot me.'
Clever? No.
Hmmm, 11 shots fired, and only 6 hit Brown? :roll: only.
madman.
Yesterday, all the media was breathlessly focused on creepy audio, which was supposedly the inadvertent taping of Mike Brown being shot to death in Ferguson, Missouri.
But it may be that CNN and anchor Don Lemon jumped the gun! Watch (above) as CNN is forced to admit the audio may be in error, as the FBI is yet to confirm if is real or not. As you can see, the news channel is trying to soften the potential blow if an apology is needed soon.

Thanks for your input Mr. Mac!
What did the autopsy results say of range? Especially with regard to any stilpling around the wound?
It was a preliminary autopsy. The coroner said that without the presence of gun powder residue or examining MB's clothes and Xrays, they couldn't really say. However, he did say that the bullet that hit his eye traveled down inside his cheek and then came out his chin and then went down into his shoulder. He also said that the trajectory of the fatal bullet in the top apex of the head went straight down which would suggest that the cop was standing over him....execution style.

You don't need clothes to view stippling near the wounds itself. A gunshot fired and hitting from as close as Johnson is claiming woudl show up without the clothes.
Actually, it would make more sense if the bullet into the head was shot from the front, with Brown leaning his head down, which is not the same as "execution style". In fact, an execution style head shot would not fit the witness accounts at all, since they did not note any pause in the last set of shots, indicating that they were fired in rapid succession, not pauses to aim for a specific target, which is generally what happens during an execution shot to the head.
Wow... so eyewitnesses are no longer credible? Seriously, you're so far from reality on this, it's sad.
To my knowledge the only thing released so far is a map of MBs body showing the wound entries....so you tell me which ones had "stippling."
Neither of the first two autopsies showed any trace of gun powder residue on MB hands or anywhere else on his body. That would support Johnson's story, not the officers.
Why are you so keen to discount Johnson's testimony?
We don't have all of the officer's story at this time. We have no idea what exactly his story would be or why there would need to be gun powder on Brown's hands. Just trying to take the gun wouldn't produce gun powder. So there is no contradiction with just having the absence of gun powder residue even when it comes to a claim that Brown was reaching for Wilson's weapon. It is possible to reach for the gun without getting gun powder on your hands, especially a gun that hadn't been fired yet.
And from what I can tell, the absence of gun powder doesn't provide any kind of evidence for or against Johnson's story.
...so you tell me which ones had "stippling."
When a gun is fired, a cloud of gas from the gunpowder's ignition explodes outward, along with soot and unburned gunpowder, Davis said. If a shooter holds the gun so that the muzzle is in contact with the victim's skin, the gas injects itself into the body, either tearing the skin or leaving abrasions from the contact with the muzzle. A shot from an inch or so away will spare the skin from the gas, but leave soot around the wound. In contrast, a shot from between 3 and 9 inches (7.62 to 22.86 centimeters) away won't deposit any soot, but it will leave a characteristic "stippling" pattern from fast-flying gunpowder. A distance greater than about 9 inches between the skin and the gun, depending on the gun, would be categorized as a "distant wound," Davis said.
Another witness, Michael Brady said that he saw MB doubled over and "grabbing his stomach" while the gun shots kept firing. So it would make more sense that the officer was still "pursuing" MB (Josie admitted as much) after he turned around....not the other way around.
