Any legal commentary on this?

I'm guessing the fact that he wasn't convicted says it all. But I don't know if a conviction would be hidden in a juvenile record?...

What would a conviction or non conviction have to do with anything? Seems a bit irrelevant.

It's called character assassination. It's pretty reckless and irresponsible journalism to be reporting allegations of a prior conviction if court records haven't been released.

This thread is starting to veer into Infowars territory.

I think you're right, I could see why the defense attorney would try and use that as proof that Mike may have been a bad seed before the incident and try to sway the jury to believe it wouldn't be out of his general character to attack a police officer, but I would NOT be a fan of using that information for that purpose.

It's low hanging fruit and I don't think it really has any relevancy to the case at hand.

Just because you were arrested in relation to a crime doesn't mean you are guilty. With the character assassination attempts on him, I wouldn't be surprised if Brown was arrested due to something like a mistaken identity but the conservative blogs want to run with it anyway.

You're using incorrect words, here; "defense attorney" and "jury" etc. To date, there is no criminal case, there is no defendant, and the only lawsuit was brought by a "journalist" troll.

Excuse me, guys, I need to go update my bio on all social media I use. You see, I'm an award-wining journalist- I got the certificates to prove it! True, they're from high school but let's not split hairs.

I'd be surprised if Brown wasn't arrested while he was a juvenile because he was a violent low life gangster thug....
