EXCLUSIVE: Darren Wilson's friends demand that 'star' witness in Michael Brown case be charged with PERJURY for his 'hands up, don't shoot lie' after grand jury rejects teen's version of events
Close friends of Darren Wilson have called for the star witness in the Michael Brown shooting to be charged for lying about what he saw.
Two of the Ferguson police officers best friends told MailOnline that Dorian Johnson - who was next to Brown at the time - should be arrested for his statements in numerous TV interviews he made days afterwards.
They say that he made up the claim that Brown had his hands up which kickstarted the Hands up, dont shoot protest movement.
For his part Johnson told the grand jury that the whole process has left him feeling victimized.
He also revealed that the altercation began because he didnt like how Wilson spoke to him like a father telling off his son.
Johnson was walking with Brown back to his house in Ferguson, Missouri, when he and Wilson got in tussle that ended in tragedy on August 9.
The killing sparked more than a week of violent protest and trouble erupted again this week with looting and widespread vandalism when a Grand Jury decided not to indict Wilson.
The decision effectively means they did not believe Johnsons account.
Afterwards, Wilsons testimony was made public which his supporters say proves Johnson was a liar.

(1,732 posts)a perjury trial for over an eyewitnesses testimony would essentially allow the case itself to be tried in open court.

(21,925 posts)Wilson's own account suffers from extreme exaggeration. He claims Brown was stronger than Hulk Hogan and placed him in fear of his life from his bare hands alone based on the physical altercation in the car. The light chafing of the skin on his right cheek is inconsistent with that state of mind and in no way suggests a life-threatening encounter took place. Not a basis for perjury but it suggests Wilson is prone to stretching the truth himself.
