An analysis by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch of the St. Louis County medical examiner’s official autopsy on Michael Brown shows the black 18-year-old man was shot in the hand at close range and had marijuana in his system.
Brown was shot and killed during a confrontation with a police officer on August 9 in Ferguson, Missouri.
Christine Byers of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch tells Here & Now’s Robin Young that the findings are consistent with police officer Darren Wilson’s statements that Brown had reached in the police officer’s car and struggled for the gun.
