Summary
Elijah Gantt pleaded guilty to assaulting a Ferguson police officer and resisting arrest during tense protests marking the 10th anniversary of Michael Brown’s death — a move that dropped other charges but set him up for sentencing in November. The incident, captured on surveillance video, allegedly shows Gantt running into Officer T.J. Brown, causing a severe brain injury; the defense claims Gantt was fleeing arrest and merely trying to clear a broken fence. Officer Brown, now wheelchair-bound and still recovering, sat in court with family and supporters as the trial began — while Gantt’s supporters were also present. Ferguson’s police chief emotionally testified about Brown’s recovery, highlighting the human cost behind the legal drama.
