In a statement, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell said no charges will be filed after a re-investigation into the 2014 shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
"Although this case represents one of the most significant moments in St. Louis' history, the question for this office was a simple one," Bell said. "Could we prove beyond a reasonable doubt that when Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown, he committed murder or manslaughter under Missouri law?"
"After an independent and in-depth review of the evidence, we cannot prove that he did," Bell said.
Bell went on to say, "I also want to be clear that our investigation does not exonerate Darren Wilson."
"There are so many points in which Darren Wilson could have handled the situation differently, and if he had, Michael Brown might still be alive."
