.... 1. Wilson washed away blood evidence. In an interview with police investigators, Wilson admitted that after the shooting he returned to police headquarters and washed blood off his body -- physical evidence that could have helped to prove or disprove a critical piece of Wilson’s testimony regarding his struggle with Brown inside the police car. He told his interrogator that he had blood on both of his hands. “I think it was his blood,” Wilson said referring to Brown. He added that he was not cut anywhere. 4. Investigators did not test Wilson’s gun for fingerprints. Talking with police investigators and before the grand jury, Wilson claimed that Brown had grabbed at Wilsons gun during the initial incident in the police car and that Browns hand was on the firearm when it misfired at least once. Wilson also told police that he thought Brown would overpower him and shoot him with his own gun. “I was not in control of the gun,” Wilson said. Eventually he regained control of the weapon and fired from within the car. Investigators could have helped to prove or disprove Wilson’s testimony by testing his service weapon for Brown’s fingerprints. But the gun was not tested for fingerprints. An investigator argued before the grand jury that the decision was made not to test the weapon because Wilson “never lost control of his gun.” huffingtonpost/2014/11/25/ferguson-grand-jury-evidence-mistakes_n_6220814.html
