Skimming the GJ transcript

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/newsgraphics/2014/11/24/ferguson-assets/grand-jury-testimony.pdf

I see a lot of witnesses who are describing:

1. Two shots fired when Brown and Johnson were right by the driver's side window
2. Johnson bugging out
3. Brown running away injured
4. Wilson exiting the vehicle with his gun out, held in both hands, and pointed down (the ADA seems to think this is very important because she keeps asking for specifics)
5. Brown turning and moving ("running", "walking", and "stumbling" are words different witnesses used) towards Wilson
6. Wilson firing the remaining shots (none of the witnesses are confident how many) and killing Brown

There's 4800 pages so there's a lot more to dig through, but the people who testified that I've read so far seem more or less agreed on that.

Johnson ran off once Wilson started shooting and nobody could see where he went.
