Missouri prosecutor releases more evidence from Ferguson shooting
Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:36pm EST
(Reuters) - A Missouri prosecutor on Saturday made public two dozen documents related to the investigation into the shooting of Michael Brown, a black teenager killed by a white police officer, saying his office had inadvertently held them back.
St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCullough released 23 documents, including a transcript of an interview authorities had with Dorian Johnson, who was with Brown in August when the unarmed 18-year-old was shot and killed by Darren Wilson, in Ferguson.
The incident set off days of sometimes violent protests in the St. Louis suburb. A grand jury on Nov. 24 decided not to indict Wilson, sparking another round of protests in Ferguson and other cities calling for reforms in how police use force.
When announcing the decision, McCullough promised to unseal all evidence presented to the grand jury, excluding some photographs of the crime scene and autopsy.
