Maryland – Prosecutors drop charges against remaining officers in Freddie Gray case

On Wednesday, Baltimore prosecutors dropped all charges against the three remaining officers facing trial in the death of 25-year-old prisoner Freddie Gray. Gray died in April 2015 after sustaining a spinal injury while being transported in the back of a police van. Three of the six officers charged in the case had already been acquitted. “Justice has been done,” said Gene Ryan, president of the Baltimore Fraternal Order of Police, said after the charges were dropped. Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby said the decision to drop the charges was “agonizing” and she slammed the way police handled the investigation.
