BREAKING VIDEO: Police Lied. Mike Brown was killed 148 feet away from Darren Wilson's SUV

[Lurks Often]

43. How far Brown was from the police vehicle is irrelevant

What is relevant is how far away was Brown from Wilson when Brown was shot. The distance from where the SUV was stopped and where Brown was shot only tells us (roughly) how far Brown ran.

Now if Brown was the 148 feet away from Wilson when he was shot, that changes things quite a bit, although perhaps not as much as many would like. Certainly 148 feet away pretty much rules out the self defense claim.

However Missouri law does allow the shooting of a fleeing felon, however the law is sufficiently gray, that I am not sure whether or not Wilson can use that in his defense if it goes to trial.

Note the felony in charge in question is the ALLEGED assault on Wilson, not the robbery at the store which probably have been deemed a misdemeanor.
