All charges dropped against cops in Freddie Gray death
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/freddie-gray...cia-white/
Quote:Prosecutors dropped their case against the final two of six officers not yet tried in the Freddie Gray case in Baltimore on Wednesday.
Officers Garret Miller and Alicia White were awaiting trial over the death of Gray, a black man, on April 19, 2015, a week after he suffered a spinal injury sometime during a police van ride.
Miller, who was set to stand trial today, faced charges of second-degree assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment, reports CBS Baltimore.
White was set to undergo her trial later this year.
Quote:In December of last year, a Baltimore judge declared a mistrial for Porter in the first trial over Gray's death, because the jury in his case remained deadlocked.
Porter's charges were also dropped Wednesday. He was set to face a retrial later this year.

Now the idiots in charge of the politicized prosecution need to resign.

RE: All charges dropped against cops in Freddie Gray death
Sure looks like the charges were dropped to protect the State's Attorney.
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/marylan...story.html
Quote:The decision Wednesday to drop all charges came during what was expected to be a contentious hearing surrounding the prosecution's ability to proceed with Miller's trial without using anything he said on the witness stand in Nero's trial against him.
Miller had been charged with second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and two counts of misconduct in office related to Gray's arrest.
Miller was compelled to testify at Nero's trial under a limited form of immunity designed to protect his constitutional right against self-incrimination while freeing him to speak about the events that transpired on the morning of Gray's arrest. Before Miller's trial could proceed, prosecutors were required to show that they had not gleaned any evidence or strategic advantage in Miller's trial from his immunized testimony.
Miller's defense attorneys had argued that in order to do so, the prosecutors who argued in Nero's trial and the special "clean team" of prosecutors assigned to argue in Miller's trial without knowledge of his previous testimony should have to take the stand.
Catherine Flynn, one of Miller's attorney, also suggested that Schatzow and Deputy State's Attorney Janice Bledsoe, who argued Nero's case, had inappropriately remained involved in Miller's case. Flynn had subpoenaed Schatzow and Bledsoe, as well as Assistant State's Attorneys Lisa Phelps and Sarah David, who were assigned to the clean team.
Having dropped the charges, prosecutors avoid taking the stand.

The most frequent time you see attornies scurrying away from a case is when they will be compelled to take the stand.

Based on how the Debbie Wasserman-Shultz deal was handled I expect the Baltimore Prosecutor to be appointed to the HRC staff.

Cliff notes of Mosby's speech: It's the crooked police department's fault.

You can hear the hatred in her voice and read it in her eyes. She acts more like a community activist than a state prosecutor.
She actually accused the police of another crime (a felony) in her statement with zero evidence. I mean, did she not learn ANYTHING from this? She obviously lacks the equanimity and respect for the rule of law to be in such a position. I read that she couldn't even get into law school on her own, and sent out hundreds of letters requesting meetings with admissions offices until BC finally caved. Shame on them for lowering their standards and sullying their good name for this hack.
