The following is a news article from the Courier Tribune, giving ADA Andy Gregson's reasons for ruling the death of Daniel Brown a "clear case of self defense." Where was District Attorney Garland Yates during this investigation? Did he view the medical examiner's report before the murder was ruled as a "clear case of self defense" by his Chief ADA, Andy Gregson?

ASHEBORO - In a "clear case of self-defense," an Asheboro resident will not face charges for killing an intruder in his home on June 12, according to a Thursday press release from the Asheboro Police Department. Det. Scott Maness met with Assistant District Attorney Andy Gregson on June 21 to discuss the terms of the case involving Jose Trinidad Serratos-Palacios, 31, of 616 S. Cox St., and an intruder in his home. Daniel Willis Fitzgerald Brown, 26, of Ramseur, was stabbed to death around 11:45 p.m. June 12 at Palacios' home. On June 12, the Asheboro Fire Department was called to the South Cox Street residence by a 911 call from a neighbor of Palacios. On that date, according to a police report from June 13, the fire department responded first to the scene because, due to language differences, the call came in to 911 as a fire. Police were called in when firefighters discovered a wounded Palacios and the body of a man in the residence. Thursday's press release stated that Palacios was interviewed at the hospital by police the night of the incident and then later interviewed at the Asheboro Police Department. In his testimony, Palacios said that he was asleep and was awakened when a man, later identified as Brown, kicked in his back door brandishing a knife and demanding money. Palacios stated he was hit several times in the face and choked. During the scuffle, Palacios was able to retrieve a knife with which he defended himself and killed Brown with the weapon. Gregson was quoted in the press release as saying that from the evidence gathered and presented from the N.C. Medical Examiner's Office and Palacios' statements, the incident should be closed with no charges filed. Det. Marc Tolbert of the Asheboro Police Department said Thursday he was told by Gregson that, "this was a clear case of self-defense."

     Daniel Brown's mutilated body, attended by Asheboro fire personnel, witnessed this young man's wounds. The same wounds, ADA Andy Gregson stated in a press release, provided enough evidence to determine the case closed, requiring no charges filed against Jose Trinidad Serratos-Palacios.
     Why did ADA Gregson release his findings in a press release, more than two weeks before the medical report was signed by Thomas B. Clark III M.D., Pathologist, on 7-9-01?
     Was this the reason, Daniel Brown's mother was refused by Chief Gary Mason, Sheriff Hurley, and the DA's office to see her son's medical report, because they had to hide the truth from her about her son's death?  Nevertheless, many questions were answered for Daniel's mother about her son's death that night in 2001 when a copy of his medical report was put into her hands four years later.
     The facts are clear in this case, the same as they are clear in the murder of Antonio Pryce in 2004! All you have to do is read!
