the statement himself and through a third party. This gives them a chance to see what holes might exist as the media and Michael Brown's parents lawyers pick it apart. Then, finally, when Wilson gives his account - he can mold it to make sure that it doesn't have the holes in it that were picked apart and still have the cover of saying - well - I don't know what an anonymous caller to a radio program said - but this is MY statement.
This is just fitting with the way all the info in this situation has come out. No info on the shooter until they were able to release at the same time the video in the convenience store. No autopsy info until they were able to have a report that Brown had smoked MJ.
I'm just suspicious as to how the info on this situation has been parceled out over the days since the shooting.
The MSM contributed to this by getting eyewitnesses on the scene to give their account immediately.
In the future - anyone that witnesses some sort of incident - should hold their accounts - and not divulge anything - and have all info come out at the same time. In this case - the eyewitnesses and the shooter's accounts - should be timed to come out at the same time.
It also seems to me that the investigation into circumstances surrounding such an incident should not be conducted by the police that it is in their vested interest to protect their own. It should be an independent body taking and collecting the statements.
I know that this is probably unreasonable and impossible to control - but just look at how this was handled and bungled IMHO.
