Are the witnesses reliable
As we go into more witness statements, I get more and more confused as each statement changes. Many of them have many of the simple details the same like Wilson and mike were fighting in the car and mike runs with wilson ending it by shooting mike to his death. However the details in-between don't seem to be consistent causing a lot of confusion on who to believe is telling the truth as to what was actually happening and whose belief of what they saw was makeshift. As of right know I think Wilson should be charged with something as the simple details are consistent in showing he used excessive force, but how much extra force to determine the charge is still a little lacking.

To be fair, eyewitnesses in general are unreliable. Human memory is kind of notoriously bad, because we have to recreate a scene in our minds every time we remember it. Plus, there's the issue of shock or stress making someone remember less. The real question is whether these witnesses are less reliable than usual.
