Σύμφωνα με την απόφαση του ανώτατου δικαστηρίου, δεν θα ασκηθούν διώξεις κατά του αστυνομικού Ντάρεν Ουίλσον για τον φόνο του Μπράουν στις 9 Αυγούστου, όπως δήλωσε ο εισαγγελέας της κομητείας Σεντ Λιούις, Μπομπ ΜακΚάλοχ.
Από την υπόθεση απορρίφθηκαν οι καταθέσεις ορισμένων μαρτύρων σχετικά με τις συνθήκες γύρω από τις οποίες ο αστυνομικός πυροβόλησε και σκότωσε τον άοπλο νεαρό.
Ο εισαγγελέας πρόσθεσε ότι ορισμένοι μάρτυρες δεν ήταν συνεπείς στις καταθέσεις τους ότι ο νεαρός είχε σηκώσει τα χέρια του πριν από τον πυροβολισμό.

Officer Darren Wilson
told a grand jury that Michael Brown punched him in the face when he
drove back to him after identifying him as a possible suspect in a shop
theft, according to documents released by St. Louis County Prosecuting
Attorney Robert McCulloch.
He said he tried to get out of his cruiser, but Brown slammed the door shut twice and hit him with his fist.
"I felt that another of
those punches in my face could knock me out or worse," Wilson said. "...
I've already taken two to the face and I didn't think I would, the
third one could be fatal if he hit me right."
