While the “hands-up” account of Dorian Johnson is often cited by those who demanded Wilson’s indictment, “Witness 40”’s testimony about seeing Brown batter Wilson and then rush the cop like a defensive end has repeatedly been pointed to by Wilson supporters as directly corroborative of the officer’s version of the August 9 confrontation. The “Witness 40” testimony, as Fox News sees it, is proof that the 18-year-old Brown’s killing was justified, and that the Ferguson grand jury got it right. However, unlike Johnson, “Witness 40”--a 45-year-old St. Louis resident named Sandra McElroy--was nowhere near Canfield Drive on the Saturday afternoon Brown was shot to death.. McElroys history of being a public whackjob apparently began in 2001, when she was seriously injured in a head-on car collision.... In 2007, McElroy lied on local TV about knowing a child abductor and about giving the police information about him, the outlet discovered. About a year ago, she apparently posted comments on YouTube comparing black people to monkeys. These and numerous other incidents suggest that McElroy vacillates between being a pathological liar and a straight-up racist. vice/read/this-racist-liar-was-a-key-witness-in-the-darren-wilson-case-1216
