to impeach a witness.
Dorian Johnson, the primary witness to the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, has an outstanding warrant for a 2011 theft in Jefferson City and pleaded guilty for filing a false police report related to that theft.
St. Louis ABC affiliate ABC 17 cross referenced Johnson’s name against several records and discovered the warrant.
Johnson will be the star witness for any potential prosecution proceedings against Officer Darren Wilson for the shooting of Brown. Johnson was walking with Brown when the shooting occurred.
He has already done multiple media appearances where he falsely claimed Brown was shot by Wilson in the back. He also has claimed that Brown never reached for Wilson’s gun, was “shot like and animal” and that Brown had his hands up and told Wilson he was unarmed.
Johnson’s claims helped inspire the protests and riots in Ferguson over the past 10 days, as well as the “Hands up, don’t shoot” rallying cry of the protesters and their supporters.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has details about the 2011 charges against Johnson.
Mike, according to the State of Missouri's online courts database, Michael Brown was arrested for several serious felonies that included burglary and armed assault last November in St. Louis County. His hearing was scheduled for September, although I don't think he will show up...... :-)
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, people tried to make him out to be an innocent kid minding his own business, with a large red lollipop in his hand, no less, when a vicious white policeman just decided to open fire and shoot him six times! I don't think so...I have a feeling that this "kid" has used his size to bully and threaten other people in order to get his own way for a long time. He thought he could do the same on August 9th.
This Dorian Johnson, in particular, but other lying witnesses as well, are responsible for the war zone they have turned the small town of Ferguson into. Yet I also have no doubt that the Liar in Chief, along with others of his ilk, like Eric Holder, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson, have gleefully fanned the flames from the beginning. They should all be held fully accountable for all of the mayhem they have caused, and pay for it out of their own pocket or their own hide! But that is just my humble opinion.
