Ferguson Presentation: Vol 2 & 3

Thursday 11/19

Vol. 2: 

• September 3, 2014
• There are no alternate jurors, so all of them have to be there to precede
• Detective has a bachelor degree and has experiences in crime scene unit for 5 years
• He is not the first to report to the scene. When he gets there, there are 50 officers and 300-400 bystanders. The officers fill him in on what has happened or what they think has happened
• gunshots are fired, thus they could not examine the crime scene and body until later 
• video walk-through of the scene (6 people filming it) & 161 photos (taken by detective)
• photographs are sent to lab to be processed: none are edited or deleted even if the picture is blurry and "unusable"
• processed photos are sent to detective for analysis 
• all evidence is placed in a sealed envelope and labeled and signed off for every time the evidence was passed around
• no officers notice the detective do anything sketchy or follow the procedure wrong
• the detective is qualified; not bias or selective , very thorough documentation of the scene, evidence is not incriminating, and there are too many people there to tamper with evidence in the first place
• there are also lots of room for error during the break for safety (gunshots fired) along with unusual amount of officers, and Darren Wilson is labeled as a victim which could have influence officers

Vol. 3:

• 50 pictures of Darren Wilson
• they swab the guns and box it inside a box instead of an envelope
• fingerprints are not taken from the guns, DNA instead
• officers are there when the autopsy is being perform
• there was no report of brown
• 6 entrance wound, 2 graze wound, 3 exit wounds
• lots of the shots did not and could not kill him: can injure him mortality though
• lateral right chest wound came down at downward angle and the shot to the top of the head finally killed him. their height was the same, so that shows deliberation of killing someone.
