OK, folks. I think this would be alot of fun and informative. There are three standards about telling a story, only two of which are punishable if you lie: 1) B.S. in front of a TV camera. (No punishment) 2) Being interviewed by the cops/FBI (Punishment for false statement) and 3) Testifying under oath before a Grand Jury (Punishable by Perjury charge) SO remember, Dorian could say anything he wants to the public, but once he is talking to the cops or the Grand Jury, it's on.
I have been reviewing comments on the GJ transcript, mostly to note the conflicting testimony between the witnesses in
front of a tv camera, and then after being sworn to tell the truth under oath
in front of the Grand Jury. (Bigg Diff.) Try to link the site for corroboration.
How it all began, Dorian Johnson's story: (H/T Conservative Treehouse)
[For transcript see:
http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1370493-grand-jury-volume-4.html ]
Page 34: Dorian reveals how he doesn’t really know Big Mike and if strong arm robbery is something he does all the time.
Page 45 starts the encounter with Wilson, and Dorians account is consistent with past statements he made in the media. Mainly the narrative that Wilson somehow was able to hold onto a 285 pound man by the neck with his non dominant arm (his left) and somehow Big Mike just couldn’t break free.
Comment by Con. Treeper
Commonsense:
Officer Wilson doesn’t even know where Dorian is during the altercation with Big Mike, only recalls the hand off of the cigarillos and that is it. I think Dorian was picking up cigarillos that had to fall out of Big Mikes hand during the initial scuffle. He was scooping up the evidence. He even mentions that Mike sat a handful of cigarillos on the hood of the car. So I think Dorian took the cigarillos from Big Mikes hand (what he hadn’t dropped), walked around the front of the cruiser and got them off the hood and made it to other side of the cruiser (passenger side) and then took off running when the gun went off.
There were never any cigarillos accounted for on the hood of the car, so if Dorian is telling the truth in this part, and a handful were place on he hood by Big Mike to free up one hand, someone had to grab them because they were never part of evidence. Big Mike didnt have cigarillos on him according to the Medical Examiner. Dorian apparently was always lying about being right next to Mike and seeing everything.
This removed the substantive part of the prosecutions case, game over.
Page 65, at the bottom Dorian again describes the initial interaction with Officer Wilson when he asks them to get on the sidewalk. “At the time the officer didn’t really look like, you know, he was mad or he was telling us that we was committing a crime, he was just saying get on the sidewalk” Quite a different narrative then the angry Wilson saying “get the f**k on the sidewalk” that Dorian perpetuates when he is on script.
Page 107 (Top) Comment by Dorian:
“the majority of the time the officer really didn’t have that much power because of the position that they both had. I’m not saying that he was stronger than the officer, but because the officer was sitting down in his car and Big Mike was standing up and he had better, more strength in pulling from the officer”.
Other lies: He testifies that after he ran off, he went straight to his girlfriends house to change clothes and to tell her what had happened. THEN, he testifies that the first person he told was Mike's grandmother.
