Freddie Gray Death A ‘Homicide’: MD State Atty Indicts Six Officers
Six Baltimore police officers have been indicted, most on multiple charges: Lt. Brian Rice, Sgt. Alicia White, Officer William Porter, Officer Garrett Miller, Officer Edward Nero and Officer Caesar Goodson. Goodson has been charged with second-degree homicide.
Among the huge bombshells dropped in a news conference that surprised almost everybody due to the swiftness and severity of the State’s Attorney’s prosecutions were allegations by prosecutors that Gray was falsely and illegally arrested:
[Mosby] said that time and again police mistreated Mr. Gray, arresting him with no grounds, violating police procedure by putting him in cuffs and leg cuffs in the van without seat belting him and then repeatedly failing to get him medical attention. She said that when he was removed from the wagon, “Mr. Gray was no longer breathing at all.”
Oh, and that switchblade? Mosby’s office stated that the folding knife found on Gray wasn’t a switchblade.

How can this be? The fair and balanced people said it was suicide.
