Brown’s attorney spoke with this news organization following the verdict.
“In the absence of the video, God knows how this would have turned out. Because each of the police got up there and said something to the effect that he was accelerating, I heard the engine rev, I think it was deliberate, and obviously that’s not correct because his brake lights are on,” said Brock Schoenlein, attorney for Brown. “To me, the potential of what would have happened here without the video is frightening.”
