Documentary reveals overlooked footage in Michael Brown case in Ferguson
http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/documentary-reveals-overlooked-footage-in-michael-brown-case-in-ferguson/article_8aa5908d-cb00-53c6-a833-c1672e471791.htmlST. LOUIS • Citing previously unseen surveillance footage, a documentary that debuted Saturday at a popular film festival in Austin, Texas, claims that Michael Brown didn’t rob a Ferguson convenience store moments before he was fatally shot by police Aug. 9, 2014.
It instead asserts that Brown’s altercation with the shop was part of a misunderstanding tied to a possible drug transaction he had with store employees on a prior visit.
The new surveillance video used in the film, “Stranger Fruit,” suggests Brown first showed up at Ferguson Market and Liquor about 1 a.m., many hours before he and police faced off.
