Is it true there were no autopsy photos taken of Micheal?

I read that the batteries in the camera were dead and hence no photos just what was written. Thanks, trying to separate rumors from facts.

Thank you. I find it incredible that they would not take photos in a police shooting of any sort, uppityperson Nov 2014 #2

Apparently they eventually did take scene photos but they did not measure distances justiceischeap Nov 2014 #3

not actual autopsy. However, I think they were later taken when the St. Louis County police got there. It's one of the reasons Browns' body lay there so long.

If you even skim some of the grand jury testimony you see right away that the police investigated this with about as much fervor as a prisoner walking to death row.

A lot of the issues and inconsistencies stem from their lack of investigation and it makes me wonder if they ran a shoddy investigation on purpose.
