Md. Grand Jury Indicts Six Police Officers in Freddie Gray Death, Prosecutor Says

Maryland's attorney general announced this week that a grand jury has indicted all six police officers involved in the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray.

Maryland's chief prosecutor Marilyn Mosby announced the officers' indictment and charges at a press conference on Thursday, adding that they will be arraigned on July 2.

The charges given to the six police officers on Thursday are very similar to the charges announced against the officers earlier this month, when Mosby first said they would be facing criminal prosecution for their involvement in Gray's death.

The most serious charge goes to the driver of the police van carrying Gray when he allegedly suffered a life-ending spinal cord injury. The driver, Officer Caesar R. Goodson Jr., faces charges of second-degree depraved heart murder, for which he could face 30 years in prison.

According to The Washington Times, Mosby did not take questions during Thursday's brief press conference that announced the officers' indictment. The prosecutor told reporters that "as is often the case, during an ongoing investigation, charges can and should be revised based upon the evidence."

"The Grand Jury, who also concluded there is sufficient evidence for probable cause, returned indictments on all counts presented to them." Mosby added.

Other charges facing police officers Caesar R. Goodson, Jr., William G. Porter, Lt. Brian W. Rice, Edward M. Nero, Garrett E. Miller, and Sgt. Alicia D. White include involuntary manslaughter, second degree assault, and reckless endangerment, among others.
