It doesn't tell us whether Brown grabbed for Wilson's gun. It doesn't tell us whether Brown was charging Wilson or not when he was shot. For those determinations, you have to choose Wilson's testimony or Johnson's testimony.

You don't HAVE to choose either testimony. There were several other witness testimonies and I would think all of the testimonies, no matter how contradictory, would be weighted along side the physical evidence. I don't understand why you want to take Johnsons testimony alone as the gospel.
Once again I ask this question- Wasn't Johnson (the friend) the one who initially told investigators and reporters that Wilson shot Brown in the back while Brown was running away? If so, that would really make me question the accuracy of his GJ testimony.
