Balltimore Circuit Judge Barry Williams on Monday rejected the state's case against Officer Edward Nero, acquitting him on all counts for his role in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray....
[Officer Edward Nero]...is one of three officers who were on bike patrol when they chased and arrested Gray in West Baltimore on April 12, 2015. Gray died a week later of his injuries, touching off citywide protests.
Prosecutors initially charged Nero and Officer Garrett Miller with wrongly arresting Gray for having an illegal knife, which they said was legal under state law. They later backed off that theory after defense attorneys noted the knife was banned under city code, and instead said the officers did not follow legal requirements in how they went about stopping Gray before finding the knife.
This is what I expected would happen when the Prosecutor stepped up to say, "The Van Did It," arrested 3 black people and 3 white people, and COINCIDENTALLY stopped protests. I'm still reading, but I thought the Prosecutor handed the judge and excuse to release the officers that beat Gray -- So far, that's still what I think.
In Mosby's defense, it seems to me, the judge did a Chicago move -- just like the judge did with Rekia Boy'd's killer, Dante Servin. It seems to me the judge decided he wouldn't even take the chance that a jury would find differently.
WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO HOW THESE JUDGES GET AND KEEP THEIR JOBS AND CHANGE THE SYSTEM
