CLAYTON, Mo. – Lingering questions about Michael Brown could be answered Wednesday as two news organizations seek the release of any possible juvenile records for the unarmed 18-year-old who was killed by a Missouri police officer last month.
Juvenile records are confidential in Missouri, so it's not definitively known if Brown was arrested before he legally became an adult. Police have said Brown had no adult criminal record. The family's attorney, Benjamin Crump, has refused to discuss whether Brown had a juvenile record.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch and a California online journalist have filed separate petitions in St. Louis County Family Court to determine whether Brown had past legal trouble. Both cite an overriding public right to know Brown's background after his shooting death by Ferguson officer Darren Wilson sparked more than a week of sometimes-violent protests and drew international scrutiny.

This is outrageous! The facts in this case have nothing to do with any of these requests. This is simply one more example of smearing the victim.
This whole episode has become one of the worst cases of all time. All sides the police, the media, the protesters, the race baiters and the hate mongers need to be thrown in jail and the key thrown away. They just made a statement saying he didn't have any top felonies on his record. What kind of BS is that. This case proves what a screwed up justice system we have. Law and Order not.
Awww u must be a thug lover.
The only victim here is the officer.
I'm still waiting for the horrible photos of the fractured orbital lobe of the "officer"
There are none, so it never happened.
Period.
To 5:36, it has to do with this case for the simple fact that the family and Al Sharpton have made Nichael Brown out to be amp angel who was reading his bible when a big mean cop came along out of the blue and shot him for no reason, they said he was "a gentle giant". Right. Ask the poor store manager that he shoved around after TAKING cigars that he refused to pay for. To 6:18, they said he didn't have any felonies on his ADULT record. This goes to his state of mind and previous actions are most likely what his actions were like when this happened.
He was charged with murder as a kid, he burnt puppies in a burning barrel. He shot a neighbors cat with a BB gun and it lost an eye. He beat a teacher in 8th. grade. He was no angle, and certainly not at 6'3" and 280 pounds!
9:52 This is from the NBC news page from 2 hours ago:
"A Missouri court official said Wednesday that Ferguson police-shooting victim Michael Brown was never convicted of a serious A-level or B-level felony as a JUVENILE (emphasis added) and was not facing any charges at the time of his death, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Wednesday. It's unknown if he was ever charged with any lesser offenses."

If all this happened then why did the courts tell a newspaper that none of this happened?

how do you know the Missouri Court or the media is not being totally honest here. This does not pass the smell test and Softies like you are falling for it. I bet you voted for the illegal Muslim from Kenya didn't you.

Kerry is that you?

3:02, If you look at my original comment at 6:18PM you will see where I said it was BS. Why just say that there weren't any top felony counts, what about other counts. I bet you fart in a paper bag and then sniff it to get high.
3:04, No.
