In reply to the discussion: Forensic Pathologist Cyril Wecht SHUTS DOWN All Nonsense in Michael Brown Case [View all]stupidicus
(2,570 posts)we may have all heard plenty of "stories", but I'm afraid whatever "end" one chooses will have to involve uncertainties. That's been the case and will remain the case.
The article claims that a bullet wound in his arm indicated that he could not have been surrendering, but what Melinek really said was, You cant say with reasonable certainty that his hands were up based on the autopsy findings alone. The back to front and upward trajectory of the right forearm wound could occur in multiple orientations and a trajectory reconstruction would need to be done using the witness statements, casings, height of the weapon and other evidence from the scene, which have yet to be released. http://www.staffordsmokesignal.com/news/2014/10/30/official-michael-brown-autopsy-released-more-questions-for-ferguson-pd/
it's the same with these guys http://www.kmbc.com/news/lawyer-autopsy-shows-michael-brown-repeatedly-shot/27584030
and you're as bad as he is in terms of "facts"
According to a PBS Newshour analysis of witness testimony, more than 50 percent of the witness statements said that Brown held his hands up when Wilson shot him, some 16 of 29 statements. Still, a solid 13 could not confirm that Brown made such a gesture.http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Society/2014/1202/Did-Michael-Brown-really-have-his-hands-up-when-shot-video
if you wanna see the effort of the guy who couldn't get their respective heights right as the "last word/end of story", be my guest.
SOmebody should ask Wilson why he was shooting at Browns raised arms -- the smallest target available -- as opposed to putting more into his torso, no?
