Freddy Gray Verdict #2. Not Guilty

[K_Z]

Popsicle, thanks! Great to see you. I have to go, so hopefully you can post the rest!

There were multiple views of security cameras along the route of the police wagon, and Goodson was seen driving the speed limit, and came to full stops where appropriate except for ONE slow rolling stop. An expert testified that the rolling stop was actually MORE safe for FG in the back.

Full stops- especially when sudden, are what makes the ride rough. I can go with the "no rough ride" intended theory if he was not placed on the bench of the wagon, but on the floor. If he was initially placed on the bench while hog tied, then that was an intended rough ride.

Have you read the evidence presented at trial? The judge was very thorough and clear in his explanations of the evidence and the law. imo.

In what I thought was her most searing comment, @MarilynMosbyEsq rebukes the criminal justice system:

For those asking: Defendants in Maryland get to choose bench trial or jury trial. @MarilynMosbyEsq seemed to note that as a problem.

umm wow

Seems to me that she is upset that these trials were heard by a judge that knows and upholds the laws than a jury trial which could easily be swayed by emotion instead of law.

So once again she says what she wants heard then says she cannot answer any questions because of on going litigation. Amazing!

 

[ohreally]

I think is what we will see soon that the DOJ has also cleared all of the officers.

Freddie Gray case: Charges dropped against remaining officers

"Justice has been done," Baltimore Fraternal Order of Police President Gene Ryan said Wednesday after charges were dropped against the three officers. He added that comments about police from Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby were "outrageous".

So Mosby doesn't believe that an experienced, well respected, African American judge should be given the task of deciding these cases? She is somehow calling his judgment nd expertise and even his integrity into question with some of her statements, in my opinion. Like where she said that the State should be able to decide if it will be a jury or a judge making the decision. That is scary, in my opinion.

bbm. Hmmm I can't imagine if florida or texas or california told the feds we don't need your help, and how that would end?

 

[galiuro]

So Mosby complains about the police investigation and how they 'hindered' the prosecution but she turned down both the FBI and state police offers? So what sort of legislation is she going to come up with to fix that?
