In reply to the discussion: Strong Evidence That Brown Was Executed [View all]MoleyRusselsWart
(101 posts)Pal...are you under the impression that Michael Brown is on trial? Because the autopsy that we are discussing, the only one we have this far, wasnt from the "defense", it was a private autopsy requested by the family. And the forensic pathologist who performed it was Dr Michael Baden, a man with impeccable credentials who's been involved in over 20,000 autopsy's on everyone from JFK to John Belushi. I think its safe to say you can take his findings to the bank.
As for the Dr's STATED lack of ANY abrasions on the body, it is significant. Not as a stand alone piece of evidence, but as yet another piece of the puzzle.
Brown was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Wilson is contending that Brown "charged" at him because that would justify the shooting. This would mean Brown was shot dead while running at the officer, with all 300 pounds hitting the pavement in a forward motion, leaving him lifeless face down as the photos of the crime scene show.
You ever been running and trip or whatever and fall to the ground? Even at a slow speed there is literally no way you will not have, AT THE LEAST, contact scrapes on either your hands, knees, arms, legs or all of them. Its no different with Brown. The fact that he had NOT A SINGLE ABRASION clearly indicates he fell where he stood, or at the very least was not charging at Wilson.
As for exactly what happened, you are correct, no one knows with 100% certainty. But we do know we have independent witnesses who all independently gave the same general story which we now can be supported (at least thus far) by both the autopsy results and the recent audio of the shooting.
That, my friend, is a damn strong case.
