BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) – Despite an arrest and very serious charges filed against Antonio D. Brown, there are still many questions about the investigation into this fatal twist of fate in South Buffalo.
Many of these questions relate to so-called black boxes and the alcohol content in the blood.
A police source told the I-Team that the 2008 Maserati Brown was manufactured before it was mandatory to have black boxes or second-party information recorders in cars.
Beyond that, the I-Team learned what was considered the black box. Turns out it’s another device, now called “module”.
We are told that the Buffalo police have not regained knowledge of the fate of this plane.
District Attorney John Flynn says otherwise.
“You can get information off the module,” Flynn said. “You can get speed off of it. You can get other information off of it. I’m not telling you what I got off it, but in general, you can get information off that module.”
The I-Team is still suing the Buffalo Police Department for its refusal to disclose documents to the public, detailing the procedure used to unload the black boxes.
Police say the D.A.’s allowed them to hand over the documents.
Investigators say Kristin LaBurno and Anthony Twentyfive III, now we knew they were cousins, died when they were beaten through Brown.
The district attorney said he may have arrested Brown in February or March, but to wait, based on a “strategy.”
“If a suspect is not arrested immediately, within 48 hours, and I resolve the case after the fact, I do not stop. I’m presenting all this to the grand jury,” Flynn said.
In the indictment, handed over by a grand jury, Brown allegedly conducted intoxicated and reckless.
The indictment details Brown’s blood alcohol level. The district attorney would also unveil Brown’s IBC.
Although Brown faces separate rates for drunk driving, DWI is included in the largest crime case.
