A Question About the Michael Brown Case

[erpowers]

According to a Boston Globe article, the Ferguson police claimed Officer Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown at close range at least one time. Has anyone confirmed whether or not Officer Wilson actually shot Michael Brown once from close range? I know the family had a private autopsy that stated at least some of the shots came from long range, but I was wondering if anyone had been able to prove if all the shots had been fired at long range.

1. I thought that wasn't released because they didn't examine the clothing at the private autopsy.

I do not know if the first or third autopsy checked for powder residue, etc. I just remember hearing it discussed on MSNBC.

2. No one has 'proven' anything yet,

certainly not publicly. The 'best' info on this may be in the interview done by I forget which of the MSNBCers with Mr/Dr Baden.

3. "none at very close range"

Referring to the 4 in the arm.

Baden and Parcells found that four bullets entered Brown’s right arm. All had entered from the front and none was reportedly fired at “very close range,” according to the Times.
