Plus, perhaps the clearest account yet of what officer Darren Wilson is saying happened that fateful day. A woman identified only as josie called into a local Radio Station ktfk and gave his side of the story claiming to be a friend. A source with detailed none of the case says josies version accurately matches the officers version of events. Of course, we have yet to hear the officers version of events.
