There are also 4 or 5 witnesses (IN the grand jury report) who back the version that said Wilson overreacted and was in no danger when he shot Brown. And Wilson said Brown was 20-30 feet from the car, which isn't correct based on the grand jury report, which said it was 150 feet. Once again, TRIAL is what is needed to sort out these differences.
FWIW, I was someone who during the Trayvon Martin trial vociferously defended George Zimmerman once I realized the facts supported him (IMO). You can check out the thread on it. So I'm not just pushing an agenda here, I'm disturbed by the fact that contract fact pattern won't be contested at trial.
