The Michael Brown Case has still been problematic. Some of the people from the Grand Jury admitted to lying. One witness said in his testimony how Brown was on his knees when he was shot, but the prosecutor said based on the forensic evidence, that's impossible. The witness later admitted he was lying. One witness supported Wilson's views. Based on her testimony, they asked her if she was even at the event. Her car wasn't there and the way she claims she drove home is impossible. That witness suffers from harsh migraines, memory problems, and is bi-polar.
This relates to APUSH because for as long as we can remember, in order to resolve a problem, the community usually came together as one to discuss about it and gather the witnesses. This is a huge problem because no one should lie. If we want justice, it's important that we all tell the truth so we can come to the correct and most appropriate solution. Not only do they take an oath before they say what they saw, but it's a huge problem if they don't tell the truth. I hope justice is served and the case is solved fairly.
