Does the Ferguson audio recording backup Officer Wilson's version of the shooting?
Does the Ferguson audio recording backup Officer Wilson's version of the shooting?
It might be the sound of Michael Brown losing his life. A company that makes a video conferencing app confirms audio of gunshots in Ferguson was recorded right around the time Officer Darren Wilson opened fire. CNN cannot independently confirm whether this recording actually captured audio of that shooting, but it is an intriguing piece of the puzzle. Don Lemon explains how CNN obtained this recording.
If this audio is verified, what does it tell us about the shooting? Anderson spoke with audio forensic expert Frank Piazza, CNN legal analyst Mark O'Mara and legal affairs commentator Areva Martin.

If you were Officer Wilson what would you have done? Here's the criteria –

2) Brown kid robs convenience store and bullies store owner
3) His size is menacing 6’4” 285lbs
4) Has an accomplice with him both of whom refuse to get out of the street.
