"Tiffany Mitchell, another eyewitness to the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson last weekend, spoke out on CNN tonight. She told Don Lemon she saw Brown trying to pull away from the officer moments before he was shot. This comes days after a friend of Brown’s who witnessed the shooting said the police officer is “guilty of murder.”
Mitchell said Brown had started running from the police officer, and the officer ran after him, firing his gun. Then, she said, “the kid’s body jerked as if he was hit from behind and he turned around and he puts his hands up like this and the cop continued to fire, and he just dropped down to the ground.”
She described the officer in question as a tall, white male, and told Lemon she heard at least five or six shots.
And in addition, another person connected to Mitchell, who she was picking up in the neighborhood, was also witness to the shooting, and Mitchell’s lawyer said her account provides the same information about what happened that day."
This is an excellent witness, in my opinion. Extremely credible. The police officer involved in this shooting is entitled to being considered innocent until proven guilty under our law, but I now believe he's in very deep trouble. This witness alone should be enough to send him to prison for a very long time, in my opinion. She's the kind of witness a prosecutor will love.
