The mother of Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager shot dead two weeks ago, has said that meeting Attorney General Eric Holder has given her hope that her son might one day get justice. The sequence of events that led to her son’s death remain unclear, but earlier this week Lesley McSpadden and her son’s father Michael Brown, Sr. paid for an autopsy which concluded that their son had been shot six times, twice in the head. The shooting has triggered days of rioting reflecting long-simmering racial tensions in a town of mostly black residents and a majority white police force and McSpadden has admitted that she didn't have faith in local authorities.
