Officer Darren Wilson’s Testimony: Ferguson Teen Looked ‘Like a Demon’
The St. Louis County Prosecutor’s Office released the transcripts presented to the grand jury in the killing of Michael Brown, which includes Ferguson policeman Darren Wilson’s testimony. Wilson was not indicted on any charges by the prosecutor’s office on Monday.
We’ve embedded the 286 pages below. Page 195 begins Wilson’s testimony, in which he describes his fatal interaction with Brown.
Much of Wilson’s story revolves around his perception that Brown was some kind of superhuman force.
“I felt like a five-year-old holding onto Hulk Hogan,’’ Wilson, at 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds, told the grand jury (page 212). He also said Brown looked “like a demon, that’s how angry he looked’’ (page 225). Wilson goes so far as to say that after he began shooting, the bullets did not affect Brown (page 228).
At this point it looked like he was almost bulking up to run through the shots, like it was making him mad that I’m shooting at him. And the face that he had was looking straight through me, like I wasn’t even there, I wasn’t even anything in his way.
