The Case for Probable Cause: A Study of the Darren Wilson Michael Brown Grand Jury Decision

By Kevin B. O'Connell

On August 9, 2014, a little before noon, Michael Brown, an 18 year-old black teen was shot to death in the middle of Canfield Drive in Ferguson, Missouri, by a Ferguson police officer by the name of Darren Wilson. Within minutes of the shooting, residents of the surrounding apartment complexes lined the road, many of them claiming that Michael Brown was killed while kneeling, with his hands raised, and pleading for his life. Others tell a very different story. Regardless, the slogan "hands up, don't shoot" became the rallying cry for hundreds of thousands protesting a perceived injustice. A little more than three months later, a Missouri State Grand Jury found no probable cause for indicting Officer Wilson. This book is an analysis and interpretation off all the eyewitness, physical and forensic evidence that went into the making of that decision. Now you can read and decide for yourself
