Key facets of his testimony to the grand jury, as he recounts it, include: •Officer Wilson did not fire while Brown was moving away form him, but only when Brown turned back towards him. •Brown motioned with his arms out to his sides, but never raised them high. •Brown continued to advance on Wilson despite repeated orders to stop. •When Wilson fired his last rounds Brown was only ~20 feet away (those of you familiar with the Tueller drill understand the tactical implications of that distance, although this witness almost certainly did not). •Brown’s friend and criminal cohort Dorian Johnson took off running when the first round was fired inside Wilson’s police vehicle (thus casting further doubt on his testimony of later events, as if further doubt was needed). •He saw a struggle inside the patrol car, and saw Wilson’s hat fly off. •A shot was heard, at which point Brown ran, followed by Wilson (thus measurements of Brown’s body from Wilson’s vehicle are not likely representative of the distance between the men when Wilson fired). •Wilson, gun drawn, shouted repeatedly at Brown to stop his flight. •Brown stopped, mumbled something inaudible, and began advancing on Wilson, despite Wilson having his gun in hand. •Wilson again ordered Brown to stop, and fired three shots. •Brown staggered, apparently from being struck by one or more rounds, then continued to advance on Wilson. •Wilson fired four more rounds, the last of which discharged as Brown was falling.
