First Freddie Gray Trial Ends in Hung Jury; Mistrial Declared

A mistrial was declared in the trial of a Baltimore police officer charged in connection with the death of Freddie Gray after the jury failed to reach a unanimous decision.



Judge Declares Mistrial of Baltimore Cop in Freddie Gray Case

In what is a perceived legal blow for prosecutors, the jury was hung and the judge declared a mistrial in the trial of Baltimore police officer William Porter in the case of Freddie Gray's death after sustaining injuries while in custody.

Porter was charged with manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office in the April 19 death of Gray, who died a week after his neck was broken during a ride in the back of a police van. Gray's death and the subsequent unrest in Baltimore brought to the fore long simmering tensions in Baltimore and across the nation over socioeconomic disparity and the relationship between law enforcement and the minority communities they serve.

The judge has already ordered the attorney's into his chambers to hear arguments for a retrial.

I can't presume to know what went on in that trial, or the jury deliberation room. However deliberately not buckling in a passenger of a motor-vehicle seems pretty egregious to me.

Are you going to go help them loot and burn Baltimore if there's an acquittal?

No. Was there burning and looting when O.J. Simpson was acquitted?

Show me the link. Where was the burning and looting done by white people when OJ Simpson was acquitted?

Didn't say there was. The largest riots in American history was the white people's Draft Riots of 1863 in New York City.

Then what was your point? Do you think riots are justified when you don't get the verdict you want in court?

That wasn't CCC's point and you know it! If you read that into what he said, you have serious reading comprehension problems.

Then what was the point here?
