In reply to the discussion: Strong Evidence That Brown Was Executed [View all]TorchTheWitch
(11,065 posts)First, all that a defense autopsy can even do is review the county ME's evidence. The county ME would note any abrasions, but the defense only brings up from it what they WANT. So no, without the county ME's complete autopsy findings all we know is whatever the hell the defense decided to say.
You're right that he was struck twice in the head. I stand corrected on that.
You're the one claiming that the ALLEGED lack of abrasions are significant. No they aren't. There doesn't necessarily need be any more than the one that the defense mentioned. Abrasions can occur when one falls while running or while standing still and falling. Abrasions whether he had more than the one or not don't and CAN'T prove which direction he was running. And the shots couldn't have been fired while he was running away from the officer because none of them entered at his back. Clothing can also keep abrasions from occurring, and we don't even know how he fell other than the photo of him on the pavement with his shorts down passed his butt and his butt in the air. What parts of him not covered by clothing when he hit the pavement is not known nor HOW he hit.
Since we don't know if he continued to run after the first shots (that weren't the one in the car) or if after being struck with the first few that he stopped running by the time the last one's hit. It's entirely possible that the first shots caused him to stop running. See, we DON'T KNOW. And like I said, he may have been running toward the officer since he couldn't have been running away since there were no shots to his back. Even the defense acknowledged that he could have been shot while running toward the officer. I suspect they know a hell of a lot more than you do.
NONE of what you said is evidence and certainly not strong evidence. It's nothing more than your own speculation based on incomplete and unknown information. You can bet your sweet bippy that if abrasions whether present or absent showed anything significant in favor of the defense they'd would still be screaming it into every microphone there is. They haven't. And they also know a hell of a lot more than you do.
