Ferguson, Mo., police officer Darren Wilson testified Tuesday to the St. Louis County grand jury that is investigating whether he should be charged in the shooting death of Michael Brown, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
Wilson testified for nearly four hours, according to the newspaper, which cited “a source with knowledge of the investigation.”
A spokesperson for St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch declined to confirm the report to the Post-Dispatch.
McCulloch’s office had previously said that Wilson would be “offered the opportunity” to testify. It is generally unusual, however, for the subject of a grand jury investigation to agree to testify because of the legal risk involved.
The Post-Dispatch also reported Tuesday that the grand jury would have until Jan. 7 to decide whether Wilson should be charged in Brown’s Aug. 9 shooting.
Slow and easy wins the racist.
Big mistake. He’s setting himself up for a perjury indictment. One little “mistake” in testimony and he’s up shit creek.
Testified for 4 whole hours?
Pfft. He stood over Mike Brown’s dead body longer…
How many days/weeks did this testification take?
He testified as ling as the prosecutor wanted him to. You got a problem with that?
