He was a gentle soul.
The last video of 18 year-old Michael Brown shows the Normandy High School graduate robbing a local convenience store.
On Friday reporter Charles Johnson sued the St. Louis County Court for Michael Brown’s juvenile arrest record.
Via Got News:
Got News filed a lawsuit against St. Louis County court today to obtain the juvenile arrest records of Michael Brown after the court denied his request. Brown was killed in a controversial altercation with Officer Darren Wilson.
Got News editor-in-chief Charles C. Johnson was told by two different law enforcement sources from St. Louis that Brown had a juvenile arrest record but that that report has been kept from the public…
…To find out if those police officers are correct requires seeing Brown’s juvenile arrest record, which ought to be freely available given that he is dead and therefore has no right to privacy remaining. Press reports say that Brown has no “adult arrest record” but how could he have one? He was only eighteen for a few months.
Today my lawyer & I filed a lawsuit in to release #MichaelBrown juvenile criminal record. I’ll be posting soon. #HandsUpDontShoot #Ferguson
