New Witness to Michael Brown Shooting

Out of curiosity, if you were hit hard enough to give you an orbital blowout fracture, would it affect your decision-making capabilities? Would it make your brain rattle around enough inside the brain-bucket to affect performance?

Been there done that, and YES it would, which makes the injury a good defense for the cop. Its effective temporary insanity.

Nice try.
 
There were several witnesses to the event who support the Officer's story, but a larger more ominous narrative had to be served instead.

Who are these several witnesses who support the officer's version of events? I've followed this pretty closely, and I still don't know who they are. Can you name even one?
 
How's about unarmed Michael Brown threw sand in the cop's eyes? Good enough reason to shoot him?

How's about if unarmed Michael Brown stunned the cop enough to imagine an attack?
 
Prosecutors routinely indict ham sandwiches, and detectives lie their asses off. All the grand jury knows is what the prosecutor presents to them, and the prosecutor isn't limited to the facts; opinions, nifty ideas, suspicions, gossip, dreams, are all fair game for a grand jury.

The state once made me take parents to court who were accused of running their 17 year old daughter over with a Cadillac. The girl had no marks or injuries on her body. Nothing. The real issue was the teens lesbian affair with a teacher. Mom shut it down and the local lesbian organization made a criminal complaint to the sheriff. The sheriff hopped aboard tho sex with a minor was illegal as hell. The lesbians argued for termination of parental rights and placement with the teacher. The school was ok with it, too. And the state! So when I recited the complaint to the judge I added HOW IS PLACEMENT WITH THE ADULT LOVER LEGAL? The judge dismissed the case.

The fact it's so easy for prosecutors to indict is one reason why I thought there would be an indictment in this case. Now I'm not so sure there will be one. There's been a reversal of the tide of information against the cop, it seems to me. Even prosecutors don't usually want to indict in a case it looks like they will lose.
 
Nobody is going to name them and have them wind up dead before the trial. The prosecution, if there is one, and the defense are not going to reveal to the public their witnesses or tactics. We don't decide things in the press or on the streets. We have a justice system and it is not subordinate to a mob.

A number of the prosecution's witnesses are well known already. They've been all over the place, giving their version of what happened. Every single day, since day one.
 
As more and more evidence mounts that Brown really was the aggressor the media is packing up it's tents and leaving town. Like all circuses they can only keep the hype going for so long.

Ishmael
 
And many have been found to be full of shit.

A witness who may or may not be full of shit is still very useful to a prosecutor if he or she tells the grand jury a story the grand jury wants to hear. One very good thing the cop has going for him is the fact Missouri is unusually favorable to a defendant who is claiming self defense. Legally, I mean. In fact, if there is a state more favorable to such a defendant, I can't imagine which one it would be. I know of none.
 
So, has Vette let us know yet that the tweet about the orbital fracture was taken back because, as she tweeted later...

teehee

I think Byers was referring to the twelve witnesses she had earlier tweeted about who supposedly back up the cop's account of what happened. Had nothing to do with the orbital fracture, as I recall.

And she was not taking back the earlier tweet. Just clarifying that it was a personal tweet, not something authorized by her paper, since she's on FMLA leave.

Then why is the tweet about the witnesses still there, but not about the orbital fracture, especially given that now sources are coming out that yes his face was swollen, but there was no orbital fracture?
 
For further clarification of what I said about Missouri, it's unusual in that a claim of self defense is not required to be an affirmative defense in that state. In most states, if not all except Missouri, you have to more or less prove you were defending yourself to use that defense. In Missouri, the prosecutor has to prove you weren't defending yourself.

I'm thinking the tweet about the twelve witnesses is still there because she is standing by it.

You are correct, Byers was the source of the "12 witnesses" splutter that not even Fox would touch. #Radioactive

It's getting hard to keep track of the #UncorroboratedAnonymousDerp

I thought so. And I still say, even though she's apparently standing behind what she tweeted, twelve seems like a high number. Frankly, it sounds hard to believe.

I don't know if I'd say she's "standing behind" it. She's disappeared from Twitter after her little FMLA/standards tweet.

Reading her tweet history, her histrionics seem almost Vetteman-esque. I believe she's angling for a Fox position.

12 sounds impossibly high, I agree. Someone, somewhere should have corroborated that by now.
 
Key Ferguson Witness Dorian Johnson Previously Pled Guilty to Filing False Police Report


You can see why Obama had to dispatch Eric Holder himself to Ferguson to oversee the railroading of Darren Wilson. This isn’t a job for lower-level boobs like Missouri Governor Jay Nixon. The case against Wilson relies on the testimony of Michael Brown’s lowlife cohort Dorian Johnson, whose credibility just reached absolute zero:


Johnson, 22, may be the closest eyewitness to the shooting. He has repeatedly told media since Saturday that he and Brown were walking in the middle of the street when the officer pulled up and ordered them to “get the F on the sidewalk” and grabbed Brown, 18, in the throat. Johnson disputed the statement by St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar that Brown reached in the car and struggled for the officer’s gun.

Johnson has said that the officer shot Brown, who ran. The officer ran after him and Brown put up his hands in surrender, and the officer shot him again.

Not a likely story, but the liberals running the government and media have descended to new levels of self-parody in their eagerness to believe it.

Johnson’s résumé is about what you would expect:


He attended Lincoln University in Jefferson City for two semesters in 2011, but “wound up back here, struggling to find a job,” [his lawyer Freeman] Bosley said.

During the summer after his first semester at Lincoln, Johnson was charged with a misdemeanor after giving police a false first name after he was arrested on suspicion of theft. He later pleaded guilty.

He was accused of stealing a package containing a backpack belonging to someone else from an apartment complex. When he was arrested in that case, he identified himself as Derrick Johnson and said he was 16.

If Michael Brown is a “teen” because he was 18 when he evidently committed suicide by cop, being 16 would have qualified Johnson as a babe in arms, protecting him from punishment.


An officer found a student ID card in his sock identifying him as Dorian Johnson. Johnson told him he was carrying a friend’s ID, but two Lincoln University Police Officers recognized him as Dorian Johnson. He pleaded guilty in circuit court to a misdemeanor charge of filing a false report.

You probably aren’t surprised that scumbags lie to the police. But establishment journalists will be shocked, assuming they ever get the news.

Cheer up, moonbats. Enough blacks on the jury and Wilson will be found guilty of murder, no matter how obviously bogus the case against him.
 
I'm still wondering if it's true that twelve witnesses now back the cop's version of events. It's possible, of course, but seems like a lot. If it's true, the cop is home free, obviously.

He's not ever going to be home free.

:(

He's Salman Rushdie now...
