There's still a lot of situations that could have happened based on the evidence, just that as more comes out the less likely any eye witness account of the story is completely "true." (Not necessarily saying everyone is lying, just that eye witnesses are notoriously inaccurate). Right now you have a dozen or so it seem eye witnesses or retellings that are contradictory to one another or the evidence. Which is why officer Wilson's attorney is making sure he doesn't say anything contradictory to the evidence and are able to paint him in the best light. Right now a lot of the key witnesses have already said things that will leave a lot of reasonable doubt.
The autopsy I saw on CNN said one shot was in the back of the arm, which could have been from an arm hanging down, or from an arm held up in front of him "hands up" style. He still *could* have been shot while facing away from the officer.
