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 connection with Freddie Gray’s death after he sustained injuries while in custody.
Maryland circuit Judge Barry G. Williams indicated that he expected prosecutors to retry Porter.
Porter was charged with manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office in the April 19 death of Gray, 25, a week after his neck was broken during a ride in the back of a police van.
