Like I told her earlier 22 because the blind spot, me being in and that's 23 I'm not able to physically see the closure of 24 the situation. 25 You told them that you saw Michael Brown Gore Perry Reporting and Video FAX 314-241-6750 314-241-6750 State of Missouri V. Darren Wilson Grand Jury Volume XVI October 27, 2014 Page 74 1 get shot in the back and that's not true, is it? 2 A That's not true based on the truth of the 3 autopsy coming out. 4 But you told them 5 A Yeah, I told them that. 6 You saw Michael Brown get shot in the 7 back? 8 A I didn't have no indication of where he 9 was shot at based on me seeing what I seen. 10 And you told them that you saw the officer 11 within an arm's length of Michael Brown shoot him in 12 the head and you didn't see that, did you? 13 A Based on assumption. 14 But you told them? 15 A Yes, I did. 16 You saw that? 17 A Yes, I did tell them that based on 18 assumption. 19 And then you also told them that after 20 Michael Brown was on the ground, the officer stood 21 over him and empty his clip into him and finished 22 him off, and you told them that you saw that? 23 A Based on assumption again. 24 But you didn't tell them that you were 25 basing that on assumption, you told them that you FAX 314-241-6750 Gore Perry Reporting and Video 314~241-6750 unthgorepen3ncon1 State of Missouri V. Darren Wilson Grand Jury Volume XVI October 27, 2014 Page 75 1 saw that? 2 A I told them in the second meeting with the 3 FBI, we all sat down and it was solely based on 4 assumption because I'm not able to be at a point to 5 where I'm not able to see. I told them based on 6 assumption, if you see the report it says that based 7 on assumption and my common sense, I wasn't 8 physically there, so therefore, I can only assume 9 that happened. 10 Well, okay. So I listened to your 11 statement. 12 A You can read it. 13 In your first statement you didn't tell 14 them that you were assuming that, you told them that 15 that's what you saw? 16 A And that's what the second visit was for 17 to clarify the first recording. 18 So in the second interview, they told you 19 that, by the time you gave the second interview, at 20 that point you had seen on the news there was an 21 autopsy? 22 A Once again, I did not look at the TV or 23 listen to reports. I looked at the reports as far 24 as knowing his autopsy, I looked at it once to 25 verify my clarification for myself because I did not Gore Perry Reporting and Video FAX 314-241-6750 314-241-6750 State of Missouri V. Darren Wilson Grand Jury Volume XVI October 27, 2014 Page 76 know where initially where the bullets landed. 2 Well, you changed your story in the second 3 interview to say that when he was running away, the 4 officer's shot actually grazed him in the arm? 5 A And that's what it did. 6 And you saw that? 7 A Based on the autopsy once again. 8 So you are basing all of this on not your 9 personal observation? 10 A Well ll let me finish my question. 12 A Okay. 13 So you are basing this on, not your 14 personal observation, but on just things that you 15 heard in the media? 16 A It is concrete once the autopsy come out. 17 I can assume anything based on me looking, I don't l8 know, I don't know where the bullet was landing. 19 Didn't you say in your second interview 20 you admitted that those things that you said you saw 2l you really didn't see them and you were basing it on 22 what you had seen in the media? 23 A That was the truth based on the autopsy 24 coming back. I don't have no knowledge of giving 25 autopsy, so yeah. Gore Perry Reporting and Video FAX 314-241-6750 314-241-6750 State of Missouri V. Darren Wilson Grand Jury Volume XVI October 27, 2014 Page 77 1 So it was after you learned that the 2 things that you said you saw couldn't of had 3 happened that way, then you changed your story about 4 what you seen? 5 A Yeah, to coincide with what really 6 happened. 7 So is what you're testifying about today 8 what you really saw or you also basing your 9 testimony today finish my question. Are you 12 also basing your testimony today on things that you 13 assumed? 14 A You know, it is not a thing of assumption, 15 based on being in the position when it happened in 16 the beginning because I don't know where the bullets 17 was flying to, I can only assume that they landed 18 where they landed. 19 And that wasn't the truth of the 20 matter being the autopsy came out and gave clarity 21 based on what I thought I saw. The autopsy didn't 22 lie. I didn't know in the beginning, I was full of 23 emotion and I knew that this individual was getting 24 shot. So I assume the portions of the body that I 25 named, he was getting shot. The autopsy came out to Gore Perry Reporting and Video FAX 314-241-6750 314-241-6750 State of Missouri V. Darren Wilson Grand Jury Volume XVI October 27, 2014 Page 78 where it clarified everything where he got shot at 2 so. 3 So you assumed when you made your first 4 statement that the officer stood over him and empty 5 his clip into him and finished him off? 6 A Once again, based on me being in 7 and that's I can only assume. I can 8 only assume. 9 Why did you assume that? 10 A Because some individual getting shot by ll police, it was like, really, this just didn't l2 happen. 13 I mean, don't you think is it possible 14 that you said that because that's what other people 15 were saying they seen? 16 A I didn't base that on anybody else's l7 knowledge of. I only based it on my assumption, 18 once again, because I'm in and that's 19 and that's a blind spot. I only assume 20 based on bullets being fired and a dead body laying 2l on the ground. 22 You never saw Michael Brown fall on the 23 street? 24 A No, I did not. I can only assume that he 25 did because of the bullets that was due to his body. FAX 314-241-6750 Gore Perry Reporting and Video 314~241-6750 unthgorepen3ncon1 State of Missouri V. Darren Wilson Grand Jury Volume XVI October 27, 2014 Page 79 And you said that you could clearly hear 2 Michael Brown saying the thing he said screaming, 3 right? 4 A He yelled, don't shoot me, stop shooting. 5 You remember in your first interview 6 Michael Brown put his hands up and said okay? 7 A He was saying that too as well as the 8 bullets was going off of his body, okay, he was 9 saying okay. 10 You never told the agent in your first ll interview that he was saying don't shoot me, you 12 said he was saying okay. 13 A I never told him in the first interview? 14 Yes. Do you recall? 15 A It comes out, to actually see somebody get 16 gunned down, you might miss a couple of things, you 17 know, because it's just a shock to see an officer l8 shoot somebody the way he did. So you might forget 19 something. 20 And I'm going to correct myself, I've got 2l my notes from your first interview. You said 22 Michael Brown said don't shoot, and then you said 23 you saw him fall to the ground and the officer 24 continue to shoot him. The officer stood over him 25 and finished him off in the head. Gore Perry Reporting and Video FAX 314-241-6750 314-241-6750 State of Missouri V.

And he said, you know, 20 that it is important that you talk about what you 21 saw and not what you assume happened? 22 A Okay. 23 And it was after he explained to you that 24 you have to talk about what you actually saw and you 25 also at that point knew that there was no shots in Gore Perry Reporting and Video FAX 314-241-6750 314-241-6750 State of Missouri V.

As far as the other 12 bullets are concerned, I wasn't concerned about them 13 because of the fact the closure of the bullets, I 14 was only concern of the graze of the arm based on 15 his turning around and putting his arms up and what 16 I seen when he was walking toward the police. He 17 was getting shot in the upper torso and lower torso, 18 that's all I can give you based on me visualizing 19 and seeing what I saw, that's it. 20 I can't give you the closure of him 21 standing over him and finish him off with a head 22 shot.

Darren Wilson Grand Jury Volume XVI October 27, 2014 Page 152 1 little bit of a break so we could print?out some 2 transcripts because the grand jurors have asked to 3 listen to the recorded statement of 4 that was made to the FBI on September 30th. So we 5 have that disc queued, it is about 22 minutes. We 6 were going to try to play that before lunch, we 7 didn't get to it because we were busy making the 8 copies. You all still want to start that or do you 9 want lunch. It is not out there right now. So go 10 ahead and start this? 11 The only other thing, and Sheila and I had 12 a discussion about this before now is, she and I are 13 going to kind of wing how we are doing this, after 14 testified and she had come here with 15 who she said was her godson and were 16 in the waiting room here and testified after 17 she did. 18 So when we walked out and we were 19 kind of saying goodbye to them and they were getting 20 ready to walk out I made the comment 21 about how it is too bad there weren't surveillance 22 cameras in the complex. 23 And then said that she had video 24 the entire thing on her phone and I said, what 25 portion, what part did you video the whole thing I FAX 314-241-6750 Gore Perry Reporting and Video 314~241-6750 unthgorepen3ncon1 State of Missouri V.

WHIRLEY: Then I asked her, you know, 5 where is the phone, thinking we might be able to 6 recover it with forensic examination. She said it 7 is in the junk yard. She got so mad she threw it 8 away. 9 MS. ALIZADEH: This is information that 10 I've never known about. 11 MS. WHIRLEY: Neither have I. 12 MS. ALIZADEH: And Sheila has never known 13 about this, and from my observation of her godson 14 he was, this was news to him as well 15 because he asked her where is the phone and, you 16 know, he seemed to indicate that he had not heard 17 that information before. 18 So I thought it was important that you 19 know that. 20 MS. WHIRLEY: I agree. 21 MS. ALIZADEH: Sheila and I kind of 22 unwittingly became witness to that statement. I 23 don't think it is appropriate that we testify as 24 witnesses, but what we discussed is that knowing 25 that there was a statement made like that.

ALIZADEH: My recollection and this is 15 what you all are going to have to discuss amongst 16 yourselves what she testified to, I believe I asked 17 her if she was wearing the camcorder when the 18 shooting occurred, and she said no. I think she 19 said it was in her house, she said that during the 20 first interview she was in her pajamas when they 21 came. 22 She said that. 23 MS. ALIZADEH: You all are going to have 24 to look at your notes. I don't want to represent 25 she said something that maybe I'm wrong about that.

But whether when she was being interviewed by the 4 officers, I recall something about that, you all are 5 going to have to talk amongst yourselves about that. 6 So no more questions? 7 MS. ALIZADEH: I don't know that I can 8 answer, I don't want to characterize the witness' 9 testimony or clarify it because that's something, 10 that will be my interpretation and I don't want to 11 have to do that. I will tell you that I think that 12 there was talk about that if it is helpful, we can 13 go back and, of course, we have the testimony on 14 audio, we also will eventually have a transcript of 15 it as well. 16 If you want to make a note that once those 17 transcripts are available to me, that I can give 18 them to you and you can go back and look and see 19 exactly what she said in regard to that, all right. 20 I'm not being rude, I just need to have 21 you guys decide that. 22 You ready? 23 (Playing of the audio recording of 24 .) 25 MS.
