St. Louis County’s top prosecutor said on Thursday that charges would not be brought against the former police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown — a Black teenager — in August 2014.
The decision followed a lengthy review of the encounter that led to Brown’s death.
“In the end, we cannot ethically bring this case to trial,” St. Louis Country Prosecutor Wesley Belltold the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, though he noted that his decision didn’t exonerate Darren Wilson, the former officer responsible for Brown’s death.
