So 1n the transcript here he makes reference to during his first stride, he took his right hand, put it under his shirt and put it in his waistband. And then as he continues, he again makes reference to still charging, and again, I'm reading the transcript here, still charging, hand still 1n his waistband, hasn't slowed down. And then he again makes reference to the same thing, still running at me, hadn't slowed down, hands still 1n his waistband.
So he makes reference to it three times there and then one final time when he says, when he went down, his hand was still under his right hand, was still under his body, looks like it was still in his waistband.
So in that sense does he ever specifically say the word weapon? No. In that conversation that I'm having with him, me, as a police officer knowing that if an individual has his hand in his waistband, that 1s of concern to me personally.
And so it was implied, 1n my op1n1on, that he was making reference, that Darren Wilson was making reference to believing that there could have been a weapon 1n Michael Brown's waistband, however, as you said, he never specifically mentioned the word weapon.
GRAND JUROR: On that same note, we know that Michael Brown's hand was, had the severe lnJury with blood, so you would be able to look at the shirt and shorts to be able to see if there was blood in that specific area, correct? I don't know if you can to verify, did you verify that? His comment that he saw him at his waistband or shorts or shirt, did you look to see on Michael Brown's actual shirt or shorts if there is blood in that area?
