witnesses' account

The witnesses’ account was corroborated by video-surveillance footage, which captured the shooting from a distance, according to the charges.

They said that is supported by witnesses’ account that he twice shouted “Allahu akbar,” the Arabic phrase for “God is great,” and also referred to “jihad” after his arrest.

The judge also said she determined that some details from a witnesses account were corroborated by Stockton himself during his interrogation.

Graphic video provided to AP by Heather De Mian, who was at the scene and frequently livestreams protests in the St. Louis area, appeared to corroborate the witnesses’ account, showing a man hit and thrown several feet as others nearby shriek.
