State of Missouri V. Darren Wilson so far
We have seen 6 presentations so far in case of State of Missouri V. Darren Wilson. So far we have heard many different pieces of testimony. In the first presentation that Mrs. B gave we learned who the prosecutors are and got the intro to the case. This included how the grand jury worked who each prosecutor was and how the investigation to this case was carried out. The first testimony that we heard was from the medical examiner. His job was to take photos of the Mike Browns body and nothing else. Although the medical examiner forgot his camera and had one of police officers at the crime scene take the pictures for him. Specifically the Crime scene detective was asked to take pictures of the body as well as pictures of the crime scene. We learned this in the second presentation. The crime scene detective gets to decide what pictures he wants to take. This combined with the fact that the medical examiner "forgot" his camera made the jury wonder if something suspicious was going on with this investigation. The third presentation that we heard talked a lot about the wounds that Michael Brown received during the confrontation with Officer Wilson. The conclusion that the presenters came to was that there was enough evidence for this case to go to a trail because there were a lot of unknowns. There were a lot of unknowns in Volume three because the testimony did not talk about how Brown received the injuries it just stated what the injuries were and what they would have done to him. In the next volume, volume four we hear from Mike Browns friend Dorian. Dorian was walking home with Mike Brown when they were confronted by Officer Wilson. Dorian said that he watched both Michael Brown and Wilson struggle by the car while Officer Wilson tried to grab his gun. He said that he left the scene once he heard the first gun shot. The first gun shot was fired while Darren Wilson was still in his car. The fifth presentation that we heard had four different testimonies in it, including one by Darren Wilson himself. The other three testimonies were all from people who had interviewed Darren Wilson. None of the interviews that were talked about in this volume were recorded, instead all of the testimony was given from what they remembered of the interview. Although each story was a little different they all had the same underlying story. They all said that when interviewing Officer Wilson he said something along the lines of, he felt threatened, scared, and thought he saw a psychotic look in Mike Browns eyes. The sixth presentation that we heard was actually the seventh volume. During the seventh volume we heard from multiple eye witnesses that all saw different parts of the encounter between Mike Brown and Darren Wilson. Through all of the witnesses they told the same story we have already heard. There was a struggle for Wilson's gun, a shot was fired, Brown took off running while Wilson was shooting at him and then Brown Turned around and charged back toward Officer Wilson. The only detail that varied from this story in one of the witnesses testimony was that they said Brown did not look aggressive and that he walked slowly toward Wilson.

I find it interesting that there is such a wide variety of testimonies about the same situation, and that they are vary so much between each other. It is hard to say who is telling the whole truth because if you choose one to believe, you may be actually discarding the real truth. So far, I would say that it is hard for me to choose which parts are the whole truth, but I think that it will be made clear soon enough.
