The mother of Cpl. Michael Alexander Brown testified that her son spoke with a “pressured,” “deep” and “urgent” voice, and told her on Halloween 2019 that “he wasn’t Michael anymore.” (FBI)

The mother of a Marine charge with desertion and the murder of his stepfather testified in a Virginia court Wednesday that when she saw her son in October 2019 and again weeks later when he allegedly killed her husband that his actions were ‘erratic’ and it seemed like he was ‘losing his mind.’

Cpl. Michael Alexander Brown was in state court where a judge ultimately certified murder and weapons charges against him, sending the charges to a grand jury in July for a likely indictment.
