ST. LOUIS (AP) — The prosecutor who oversaw the Ferguson police shooting inquiry has released additional grand jury documents after not including a law enforcement interview with a key witness in the initial public release of evidence.
St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch made the additional information public Monday evening, without explanation. The new material includes transcripts of eight federal interviews of possible witnesses to Michael Brown’s shooting death in early August.
Those transcripts and the other new material weren’t among the more than 5,700 pages of documents released by McCulloch on November 24.
The first batch of documents didn’t include a transcript or a recording of a two-hour FBI and county police interview with Brown’s friend, Dorian Johnson, who was with Brown when he was shot.
KSDK-TV first reported the discrepancy.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A police interview with a key witness was not provided along with the thousands of documents released after a grand jury decided to not indict a Ferguson police officer in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
An Associated Press review of the records released by St. Louis County prosecutors confirms a report by KSDK-TV that a transcript of an interview with Dorian Johnson, who was with Brown when he was shot, wasn’t included.
The two-hour interview was conducted by the FBI and a county police detective.
A spokesman for Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch said he couldn’t explain the discrepancy.
McCullough took the unusual step of releasing information shown to the grand jury once it decided that Ferguson officer Darren Wilson shouldn’t be charged for shooting Brown, who was unarmed.
