Freddie Gray Case: Officers Get New Trial Dates

BALTIMORE, MD – New trial dates have been set for the officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray, according to reports.

On Tuesday, NBC reported the new trial dates were as follows:

• Officer Edward Nero—May 10
• Officer Caesar Goodson—June 6
• Lt. Brian Rice—July 5
• Officer Garrett Miller—July 27
• Officer William Porter—Sept. 6
• Sgt. Alicia White—Oct. 13

Gray, a 25-year-old Baltimore man who was arrested April 12, 2015, died a week later from an injury that prosecutors allege he sustained in a police van. After Gray’s funeral in late April, riots erupted in parts of Baltimore, requiring the National Guard to help quell the unrest.

Days later, State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced charges against six officers, with offenses ranging from misconduct to murder.

Recently, proceedings were stayed pending a review by the Maryland Court of Appeals regarding whether one of the officers could be ordered to testify.

Upon review, the court ruled that Officer Porter could be compelled to testify in the trials of his colleagues.

Porter was the first of the officers charged in Gray's death to go to trial, and when the jury could not reach consensus, the judge declared a mistrial in December.
