A story released today reveals that Bob McCulloch did not, in fact, release all the evidence that was put before the grand jury.
Among the items omitted: Dorian Johnson's two-hour interview with the FBI.
KSDK in St. Louis has the story.
A team of investigative reporters from around the country reviewed the transcripts released by McCulloch's office, which included law enforcement interviews with 24 witnesses. Most conspicuous in its absence was the joint federal-county interview with the witness who had been closest to the deadly confrontation, Michael Brown's friend Dorian Johnson.
McCulloch's office blamed the Feds:
McCulloch's executive assistant, Ed Magee, said the office released everything it still had when the case was closed, but had "turned over and relinquished control" of some FBI's interviews conducted in connection with the shooting.
There is one problem with this story that must be noted. The KSDK piece says:
McCulloch's office labeled the witness interview transcripts it released by witness number, up to Witness #64. But only 24 different witnesses' interviews with law enforcement were included in the information released.
KSDK is misunderstanding how the witnesses were numbered. The numbers are not limited to people who saw the shooting, which would be
eyewitnesses. Rather, in the context of the grand jury, a witness is someone who testified. The Medical Examiner, for example, is a grand jury witness. There's text in one of the transcripts that explains this, but I don't have it handy.
There's video at the link. I don't know how to embed it.
In closing, I'll note that in Volume 11, the prosecutor attempts to discredit a witness by the sin of omission, pointing out that there was "no mention" of Michael Brown's hands being up in the witness's original statement.
It's laughable that prosecutors would think the same assumption should be drawn from their omission.
Update: Vyan posted the video in the comments and I somehow figured out how to do so myself. Here it is:
