Crump: This will be a defining moment in historyBrandie Piper, KSDK-TV 11:20 a.m. CST November 13, 2014
ST. LOUIS COUNTY – Dr. Michael Baden is testifying before the grand jury determining if charges should be filed against Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson.
He arrived at the St. Louis County Justice Center around 9 a.m. before a news conference was held by attorneys representing Brown's family.
Attorney Anthony Gray said 18-year-old Michael Brown's family wants to align themselves with Gov. Jay Nixon's speech on Tuesday, asking for supporters to refrain from violence when the grand jury announcement is made.
"We want to make it very clear, that on behalf of the Brown family, we do not condone any acts of rioting, looting, or violence, and that we want to encourage all of those who support the Justice for Michael Brown to remain vigilant, yet peaceful, calm, and dignified as we await and after we receive the announcement of the grand jury decision," said Gray.
Gray also asked for police to use "reasonable restraints" with demonstrators.
"Regardless of the decision of the grand jury, this will be a defining moment in the history of the state of Missouri," attorney Benjamin Crump.
Crump also said he and others believe "there is evidence that shows Michael Brown had his hands up." He was asked if there's any doubt, and Crump responded, "there's no doubt about that."
He also said Baden found an additional entry wound was found on Brown's chest.
