I don't think the Police Officers can receive a fair trial in Baltimore, they all should of had a change in venue. If found guilty the Officers will get their convictions overturned because of this.

It's a witch hunt. They're not looking for a fair trial. They're looking to make an example, but it's a poor choice of cases. There are a lot of real cases of police misconduct, but this isn't one of them. They have already paid the Freddie Gray family over $6 million just to try to keep it toned down. The guy was a dirtbag! They can't even agree on how he died and they want to prosecute? It's a circus.

The first officer on trial knew Freddy Gray was injured and that he had ask for help but the officer decided to pick up another passenger before he took Freddy Gray to the hospital. He may not be found guilty of murder but Manslaughter after reading about the trial. I think some or at least one police officer will be found guilty of murder. Its a shame that if the officers had just followed procedures this trial may not have had to happen. We will see what happens with the rest of the officers. Jurors watched the 55 minutes video, in which Porter calmly answered questions about how he responded on April 12th. It includes a stop at Druid Hill and Dolphin Street in West Baltimore assisting van driver Officer Caesar Goodson. He told detectives at that stop Freddie Gray lying on floor of the van, asked Gray if he need a medic, helped him, up, and then told Goodson Gray needed a medic, but Goodson told him it would be faster if the police van took Gray to the hospital. Porter said that he continued to follow the van, including when it stopped to pick up a second suspect, Donta Allen. In the video, Porter told investigators that once the van arrived at the Western District police station, Allen was taken out of the van, then he told investigators he checked on Porter. At station Porter says he called Gray's name no response. Porter said to Goodson "Oh s**t we need a medic" The defense took issue with an inconsistency in Detective Reel’s notes, from the first time she called Porter about the Gray arrest. The notes read that she was asking Porter about the stop of the police van that took place at Dolphin and Baker Street, which in fact do not intersect. Under redirect, Teel admitted that was a mistake, and asked if detective sometimes make mistakes in notes she said “yes.” www.wbal.com/article/128437/2/update-jury-sees-gray-autopsy-report-video-of-porter-interview-with-police |

So far I can tell the police ignored the please of help from Freddy Gray and the Officer who was driving the Paddy Wagon. Some police officers are going to jail. They didn't follow procedure for a injured prisoner. Freddy Gray was at the mercy of the Police it's a same that they didn't stop and help.

It was still accidental at most. There was no intent to injure him.

OK falger, in my opinion, I don't think the officers decided to intentionally kill Freddie by bouncing him around in the back of a van.

Freddie Gray Case: Charges Against Three Remaining Officers Dropped July 27, 2016 Prosecutors dropped all remaining charges against three Baltimore police officers accused in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray in a downtown courtroom on Wednesday morning, concluding one of the most high-profile criminal cases in Baltimore history. The startling move was an apparent acknowledgement of the unlikelihood of a conviction following the acquittals of three other officers on similar and more serious charges by Circuit Judge Barry G. Williams, who was expected to preside over the remaining trials as well. It also means the office of Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby will secure no convictions in the case after more than a year of dogged fighting, against increasingly heavy odds, to hold someone criminally accountable in Gray’s death. Officer William Porter‘s trial ended with a hung jury and a mistrial in December, before Williams acquitted Officers Edward Nero and Caesar Goodson and Lt. Brian Rice at bench trials in May, June, and July, respectively. In a hearing Wednesday meant to start the trial of Officer Garrett Miller, Chief Deputy State’s Attorney Michael Schatzow told Williams that the state was dropping all charges against Miller, Porter and Sgt. Alicia White. READ MORE HERE: www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/freddie-gray/bs-md-ci-miller-pretrial-motions-20160727-story.html |

Now it's time to bring charges against Mosley! Wasting millions of taxpayers money on a case that was flimsy from the start involving a man well known to authorities. Freddie gray's family received $6.4 million before anyone was found guilty of any wrongdoing. Is that justice? Do they have to return the money? Is it time to riot again?

The Police Officers should of never been charge with a crime in the first place. Baltimore State’s Attorney Mosby was just trying to make a name for herself and she failed. All that has happened is she shot her self in the foot. Who wants a lawyer that lost six cases in a row? Marilyn Mosby acting as a true liberal places blame with everyone but herself. It was sad seeing these officers dragged through the mud for just doing their job. Now the Police have filed charges against her and I believe there is a file to have her disbarred. To make it simple for you, she put all of her eggs in on basket and dropped the basket! No one to blame but Mosby herself.  |

Actually, the citizens of Baltimore think she's a hero. She stood up for the people and took the side of the victim. Even though she lost, she challenged the system in a situation that is not normally challenged. Problem was, it was the right case from the start. Michael Brown, the gentle giant, who just completed a strong-arm robbery was also not the right case. My thought is if you're fighting with the police, you might get shot. If the police respond to a 'man with a gun' call and find you robbing customers outside a convenience store, you might get shot. Obey the law, don't get shot. Simple?
A better example of the police using excessive force is Lavar Jones. He was shot when he reached into his truck for his wallet as requested by the South Carolina officer.
The officer involved was fired and they are pressing charges against him.
In this case, he appears clearly responsible for what happened. Freddie Gray was a local thug that was not directly killed by police, but as a byproduct of his failure to obey the law.

6 million dollars paid to Freddie Gray's family (why??), then 7 million dollars spent on trying to prosecute these police officers. Imagine what could be done with 13 million dollars to improve the lives of people in Baltimore City?

Imagine what could be done with 13 million dollars to improve the lives of people in Baltimore City? Wow! I didn't realize they had that much invested in the case. Paying Freddie Gray's family before anyone was found guilty should be illegal. What if the truck had a video camera in it and they found he banged himself up to look like police brutality? Or if the autopsy revealed he died from an aneurism? Or a drug overdose? Would the family have to return the money? The family was awarded $6.4 million to stop them from fueling the riots. That's a lot of taxpayers money! |
