TX - Joshua Brown, 27, (witness in Amber Guyger trial), shot and killed, Dallas, 4 Oct 2019 #2

I'm a bit shocked to just read this. I'm somewhat new to this thread.
BUT did a policeman really delete text messages with Amber that night?

First reading I thought class A was Schedule 1, second reading, I only saw marijuana.. Third reading, I saw they're all included.. it doesn't specify which he had.. I wonder whether they raided his home and found the bag and everything else too?

Remember we were discussing his ID being missing? They may well have taken it to get out of his parking lot which was locked? But , he just walked downstairs to do the deal, didn't need ID for that. I reckon now the police ID'd him immediately but didn't release that ID publicly because the perps would know the heat was on bigtime if they did.
Then Merrit goes and blows the story and in the process made it more difficult to capture the perps.. it was an appalling breach and the ADA who confirmed it will probably be in trouble too.
Merritt has left a trail of destruction..

M Mitchell was arrested a a motel -- he was in hiding so I really don't imagine he had more on him other than weed and a firearm.

Most security gates require credentials to enter garage, but not to exit. Witnesses saw the silver car leaving the complex at high rate of speed - no Id required to exit.

JB did not have ID when he was found/taken to hospital. If your doing something illegal, you don't want to be carrying your ID. I'm sure they found his DL, etc., when they searched his apartment.

MOO

Here is what the lawyer claimed right after JB was killed. JB supposedly had no known enemies, and worked for a living (presumably implying what JB did for a living was legal). Seems like not exactly an accurate description, is it? And JB appears to have had a few people who likely aren't crying that he is dead, although as of now that doesn't seem to be connected to his murder.

“She suspects foul play and it is difficult to rule it out,” Merritt wrote. “He had no known enemies. He worked for a living. He was not in the streets. We need answers. Immediately.”

Then they got the answers and decided they didn't much like them. Now he's saying he was afraid for his life.

The issue though, is was he shot because he was identified and testified during the Amber Guyger trial?

That needs to be determined. If so, this is really an issue. Was JM in danger from people who were able to find him because he was part of the Amber Guyger trial?

No wonder minorities just want to mind their own business and stay out of courtroom situations, even when testifying in a situation that is not directly related to them.

If he was so afraid, he could have got right back on the flight he came in on and flown back to CA.

Adryana, the trial was over when the Judge hugged her.
The trial was over when Brandt chose to hug her
She got no preferential treatment during the trial.
The jury sentenced her, not the court.

She DID receive preferential treatment immediately after the murder from the attending officers and the switching off of cameras etc, none of which would be allowed for another prisoner.
She was given time to come up with a story and advice.
She was left unattended while the Sergeant went walkabout to get the car.
None of the normal standard procedures were followed.
It resulted in a flawed investigation which was then handed over to the Texas Rangers who made an even BIGGER balls of it..
But that was where all the preferentials come into play.

Prosecution was fair but they threw everything at her and they weren't afraid to point out the anomalies in the wake of her arrest and they showed no fear in investigating these matters and highlighting them in such a manner that Internal affairs is doing a corruption investigation on each nad every one of them.

Doesn't IAB investigate LE only? How is IAB going to investigate the prosecution?

I'm a bit shocked to just read this. I'm new to this thread. I had been following the Frazee case and an Ohio case instead.
BUT did a policeman really delete text messages with Amber that night? Did that turn out to be true?

This is so tiring. In 2007 AG's partner was involved in unarmed shooting of 20 year old. Investigated and cleared. He's caught the attention of media because of this trial, so time to bring on the flames.

I've also not read the transcripts or discovery but what I understand is that AG was having an on/off sexual affair with her married partner. When AG involved in shooting - they both deleted very personal, humiliating messages and sexually explicit photos they exchanged on that day from their phones. These deleted messages, etc. were also recovered during the course of the investigation.

Nothing lost, nothing gained. There was no obstruction of police business or details of the crime. Investigation proved nothing relative deleted.

Again, AG's partner was not on trial , nor was their sexting. Most people only have one phone they use 24/7, and I don't accept that he should loose his job for deleting that very personal communications that was recovered.

MOO

ETA: Confirmed AG partner deleted communication/photos he exchanged with AG on the day before the shooting.

He was covering up texts made during a major crime. Obviously it matters...they recovered the texts.
And if true, another officer shut off the recording device in the car. This case sounds like science fiction.

Very controlled and only for epilepsy. Sometimes used in hospice.

THC may worsen seizures, as it actually lowers seizure threshold. Consequently, so can marijuana. It is only pure CBD that is used for treatment of seizures. Because of the widespread misconception that marijuana treats infantile seizures, I find it important to emphasize, not marijuana, CBD.

Their sexting is only between them and Rivera’s wife. However, because Jean is dead, possibly, due to AG being distracted by the affair out of her mind, it looks so dirty...

i don’t care either way what happens to this Lothario, but I don’t feel sorry for him, either.

Well, exactly. When the trial was over, why didn't he leave Dallas? Obviously if he was scared, he could have left. Considering the way he made his living, it's not like he didn't have the means to buy a plane ticket.

 

[nrdsb4]

I have not read anything further about Jacquerious Mitchell's current condition (probably due to HIPAA), but his photo in the WFAA article makes it appear that he probably has been upgraded from critical condition. He has a nasal cannula in place (meaning he is not on a mechanical ventilator) and a naso-gastric tube (meaning he is likely not able to take in anything by mouth).

He is probably in serious but stable condition.

He still had pot left to sell?

 

[Kakidoll]

He was NOT in hiding after the trial. He was very active on SM, thats not hiding. He also used IMO the BJ trial to make himself a hero. He degraded AG on his social media and played into the hype. All of a sudden BJ was one of his best friends, although he only met him that day and for a few minutes (although he lived RIGHT across the hall). JB played a part the prosecutors and more so the ACTIVIST ATTORNEY and his cronies wanted. A young black male that was a former athlete turned entrepreneur to tell how bad the DPD was. They HAD to have known his background AND what he was doing, but as long as it fit into their agenda, he was good to go.

People didn't find him because of him testifying. They found him the same way everyone else did. Word of Mouth, friends of friends, Drug deals and Social Media. I'd bet my life he was trafficking the drugs thru the other states of his Airbnb's.... He had just been in Vegas and LA, posted his tickets on events he was going to BEFORE the trial... Thats NOT laying low. While he may be a 'victim' in this incident, he wasn't an INNOCENT victim. JMO

Caught up and My head is spinning...I was gonna ask mod to update thread to reflect an arrest. But there’s no arrest yet in JB’s murder? Is that right? Or was that just his initial arrest? And has JM been formally arrested in the hospital?

Rapides Parish men suspected of killing of witness at Amber Guyger's trial

Oct 8, 2019

Dallas police say three Rapides Parish men are suspected in the killing of a man who testified at the trial of a Dallas police officer who killed her upstairs neighbor.

Assistant chief Avery Moore identified the suspects as Thaddeous Charles Green, 22, Jacquerious Mitchell, 20, and Michael Diaz Mitchell, 32. Jacquerious Mitchell is in custody at Parkland hospital, Moore said.

Mitchell will be charged with capital murder.

Moore said they are from the Alexandria, Louisiana area (although court records say they are from Cheneyville) and that investigators believe they were in Dallas to buy drugs from Joshua Brown, 28.

[...]

News Channel 5 ran the names through the Rapides Parish Clerk of Court's system. Thaddeous Charles Green is currently awaiting trial for burglary of a dwelling in a 2016 case. Green actually has a pretrial set in Rapides Parish for Wednesday on that case. The only other prior listed for him is from 2015 for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. That case was dismissed.

Michael Diaz Mitchell has one prior listed in the clerk's office for simple battery. That case was dismissed in 2015. There is nothing listed in the clerk's system for Jacquerious Mitchell.

Hmm I think we can assume Green will be a no show on Wednesday.
Something is missing here. MM has to have more than one prior. He was just arrested for being a convicted felon in possession of a fire arm. Simple battery is not a felony. So what did he do to lose his right to posses a fire arm? MOO

May just be that county they are looking in. Time to expand that search button.

Michael Mitchell’s Birthday was October 3rd. So for His birthday he decided he wanted to go rob a drug dealer? What’s the deal with celebrating birthdays with murder? MOO

 

[Momof4RN]

Wow!
Here is a link to Schedule 1 drugs
List of Schedule 1 Drugs
I had to look it up because I was confusing it with Class A's in system here which are heroin cocaine and all hard drugs.
So Thaddeous did NOT get the bag of weed after all?

I find it hard to believe that if Green was the facilitator of the deal with JB, and Green was the one who shot JB, and Green was the one who took JB’s back pack and gun, that Green would just give it all up to MM. Doesn’t make sense he would be dropped off at an unknown location with nothing. MOO

Agreed. Green still has the backpack IMO. And knows someone else in Dallas....

Right and he was dropped off to get rid of backpack and murder weapon before MM had to take JM to hospital. To risky to take it all there. MOO

I think you're right, I reckon it was Mitchell that shot him... Mitchell briefed the nephew, en route to hospital, nephew squealed. He is, in fact under arrest , in hospital. Mitchell is under arrest by Luoisiana PD and Dallas warrant is waiting to be served, so 2 down, 1 to go... Such a close call at the hospital when police interviewed Mitchell before realising they were the killers of JB. They're caught now, they pinned everything on the one that got away.
I'm still not certain which Schedule 1 drugs were found on Mitchell, whether it was the marijuana allegedly stolen from Brown or whether the bag contained more deadly drugs..
Police know more than they're saying.
We have not been inform
ed if the gun they found on Mitchell was actually the murder weapon or his own gun...
