The Michael Brown case has caused a lot of controversy around the globe. Especially after the grand jury's decision to not indict officer Darren Wilson. After reading volume
20 of the grand jury testimony I can only say I agree with the jury's verdict. Volume 20 showed us the testimonies of two forensic pathologist who testified, an audio recording of a man who claims to live in Canfield Apartment Complex and that same man's testimony. Both forensic pathologist mentioned how the gunshots were close range shots. They also mentioned how it is possible that he was shot from the back depending on Michael Browns body position. To reinforce the fact that Michael Brown was shot from the back came in the witness that says he saw Michael Brown run away from officer Wilson. After he saw Brown struggle with something in the SUV that officer
Wilson was in. This witness agrees with the fact that the officer had a reason to shot towards Brown. The second forensic pathologist who testified was the third person to autopsy Michael Brown’s body. Therefore he tried his best to make an assumption but when a body has been open and searched so many times all its evidenced is washed away. He did though mention in his testimony that Michael Brown could’ve been able to run away and act somewhat normally even after he had been shot. This of course explains Michael Browns ability to run away from officer Wilson after being shot. Though the witness wasn’t able to confirm if either officer Wilson or Michael Brown were injured when Michael sprinted away from it would explain the gunshot that made the witness
look outside. From what I read in this document I don't believe the officer had to be punished for his actions. If anything the officer was doing his duty as an officer. Lets state the facts they found Marijuana in Browns system and he ran away from an officer who was clearly telling Brown to stop if he was chasing him. In
