Leaked Michael Brown autopsy could support officer's account

On Wednesday the St. Louis Post-Dispatch published a leaked autopsy report on slain teen Michael Brown.

Brown was shot by a police officer that claims the unarmed Brown was going for his gun. The report, according to medical experts hired by the paper for review, seems to support the officer’s account.

Take Two gets the latest on the story and finds out how the community of Ferguson is responding to the latest information.

Guest host Deepa Fernandes talks to Kenya Vaughn, web editor and reporter for the St. Louis American, one of the oldest African American newspapers currently in publication.
