Abstract

The article discusses police officer Darren Wilson's testimony in a grand jury trial over his shooting of unarmed African-American teenager Michael Brown, noting that the jury ultimately trusted Wilson's account of the shooting and chose not to indict him. Topics addressed include contradictory witness accounts of the shooting, the jury's consideration of physical evidence in the case, and Wilson's claim that he feared for his life when Brown attacked him.
