Since there is a gag order there better not be anyone (in the public). If things do start leaking out, I hope this judge has big balls and zaps whoever it is.
A "problem" with is particular "hang up" is it was across the board on all counts (4 of them?), which means the State failed on "knowing intent," which would be the common denominator among the criminal charges, and this was the guy who was hands on with the prisoner at the last stop at which he was conscious. Another problem is, as being reported, this officer was the only one who could testify against the others. He can't be compelled to do so now (I don't think he could have been anyway, unless complete immunity would have been offered).
It is disgusting to hear people claim "justice was not done"!
Charges that went to the jury:
involuntary manslaughter
assault
second degree assault and
misconduct in office*
*from a news report not from looking at the actual charge.
Baltimore trial ends end hung jury
And will their be the obligatory " block parties " ala Ferguson over the hung jury by the Dindu Nuffins ? Stay tuned !!
