OFFICE OF PROSECUTING ATTORNEY ‘ST.LOUIS COUNTY JUSTICE CENTER ROBERT P. MECULLOCH 100 SOUTH CENTRAL AVENUE (814) 615-2600 PROSECUTING ATTORNEY SST. LOUIS COUNTY, MO 63105, TTY (814) 615-5267 > December 12, 2014 PRESS RELEASE On November 24, 2014 I released all twenty-four volumes of grand jury testimony containing the testimony of all 62 witnesses. As promised, I also provided: thousands of pages of transcripts of witness interviews conducted by the St. Louis County Police, the FBI and/or Department of Justice civil rights attorneys; DNA, toxicology and firearms reports; autopsy reports from the St. Louis County Medical Examiner and a pathologist retained by Mr. Brown's family; and, a myriad of other documents and photographs. I also pledged that I would release any material inadvertently omitted from the original release, specifically a recording of the shots fired by Officer Wilson. I have stated throughout the entire investigation and presentation that if a no true bill was returned, I would release all evidence presented to the grand jury, with some exceptions. The exceptions are the autopsy photographs, scene photographs of Mr. Brown and anything that could lead to the identity of witnesses. That information has not and will not be released. It was brought to my attention that I omitted the FBI interview of Dorian Johnson. Upon review of the files, I discovered that I had inadvertently omitted a number of witness interviews and a few other documents which had been presented to the grand jury. It should be noted that the sworn testimony of these witnesses, including Johnson, was released on November 24, 2014. On December 8, 2014 I released additional documents including: a copy of my November 24, 2014 statement; the Department of Defense autopsy report; additional police radio calls; and, audio of a neighbor’s chat which captured the shots fired by Officer Wilson. I also uploaded the statements of several witnesses. These statements had been released on November 24 but I added the witness number so anyone reading the statements could connect them to a particular witness. These statements were NOT new material. Since December 8, 2014, my staff and I have been working to prepare the omitted statements for release. They have been uploaded and are available. They are statements taken by St. Louis County Police, the FBI and/or Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Attorneys from various witnesses. Clearly, I inadvertently omitted some material from the November 24, 2014 release and I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. At this time, I believe I have released all evidence presented to the grand jury. However, as I promised throughout the investigation and again on November 24, if I later find anything that was omitted, it will be released as soon as possible thereafter. Very truly yours, OM) elo Prosecuting Attorney RPM:bb
