ST. LOUIS (AP) — A police interview with a key witness was not provided along with the thousands of documents released after a grand jury decided to not indict a Ferguson police officer in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown.
An Associated Press review of the records released by St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch confirms a report by KDSK-TV that a transcript of the two-hour interview by the FBI and a county police detective with Brown’s friend Dorian Johnson was not included.
The prosecutor’s office did not respond to requests for comment Monday.
McCullough took the unusual step of sharing information shown to the secret panel once the jury determined that Ferguson officer Darren Wilson should not stand trial in Brown’s death.
