City State’s Attorney Says Freddie Gray’s Arrest Illegal, Charges Officers
The state medical examiner’s office turned over Gray’s autopsy on Friday morning, a day after the police turned over their investigation into Gray’s death. “The findings of our comprehensive, thorough, and independent investigation coupled with the ME’s determination that Mr. Gray’s death was a homicide which we received today, has led us to believe that we have probable cause to file criminal charges.” Mosby said she is charging all six officers in the death of Gray and his illegal arrest. “Following transport from Baker Street, Mr. Gray suffered a severe and critical neck injury as a result of being handcuffed, shackled by his feet and unrestrained inside of the BPD wagon,” Mosby said. “At no point was he secured by a seatbelt while in the wagon contrary to a BPD general order, Mosby added. “Despite stopping for the purpose of checking on Mr. Gray’s condition, at no point did he seek nor render any medical assistance for Mr. Gray.” The officers are being charged with a number of counts of manslaughter, assault and misconduct.
