Michael Brown (Young man killed in Mo.) May Have Been A Murder Suspect.

Lawsuit seeking release of Michael Brown's juvenile records claims slain teen was a murder suspect

Got News editor-in-chief Charles C. Johnson has filed a lawsuit against St. Louis County to release the juvenile criminal records of Michael Brown, claiming there is no need for the county to keep it private.

Johnson claims that two police officers told him that Brown’s juvenile arrest record contains a second-degree murder charge, and that Brown was a member of the notorious Crips street gang. The county is fighting to keep the report hidden from the public.

Attorney Johnathon Burns, who is arguing the case, told KMOX that since the teen is deceased, his records are no longer sealed.

"Missouri common law applies, and under Missouri common law, court records and virtually all other documents are open to the public," said Burns.
