0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Six years ago, the shooting of Michael Brown led to

0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>violent unrest in Ferguson, Missouri. St. Louis grand jury weighed

0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:10.239
<v Speaker 1>all the evidence. They found the police officer in the case,

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Darren Wilson, should not face charges because his actions were justified.

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Back then, the prosecutor, Bob McCullough came under heavy criticism

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>for presenting the case to a grand jury instead of

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>giving into the loud demands to just charge Wilson with murder.

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 1>In two thousand eighteen, McCullough was defeated by Wesley Bell,

0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>who became the first African American to head the St.

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Louis Prosecutor's office. Bell and his new team of prosecutors

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>reopened the Michael Brown case. They spent five months re

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:44.560
<v Speaker 1>examining everything, the forensic evidence, the witness statements, entire case.

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Last Thursday, Prosecutor Bell delivered a somber message. He said

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 1>that his heart broke for the Brown family, but he

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.639
<v Speaker 1>would not be charging Darren Wilson. The investigation could not

0:00:55.880 --> 0:01:00.080
<v Speaker 1>prove that the officer committed murder or manslaughter. We do

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>just exactly what the grand jury had found six years earlier.

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>After being identified as a participant in a robbery. Michael

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Brown tried to take the officer's weapon. It cost him

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>his life. Race was never the issue in this case,

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.040
<v Speaker 1>never should have become the issue where hands up, don't

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 1>shoot never happened. This was about right and wrong and

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Michael Brown, sadly was on the wrong side of it.
