Charges Dropped Against Remaining Officers In Freddie Gray Case

The three remaining officers waiting to stand trial in the death of Freddie Gray will walk after their charges were dropped on Wednesday morning.

Charges against Baltimore officers Garrett Miller, William Porter and Sgt. Alicia White were dropped just as Miller was preparing to stand trial, according to The Baltimore Sun. 

Three other officers, Caesar Goodson Jr., Edward Nero and Lt. Brian Rice, had previously been acquitted of all charges in Gray's death. 

Prosecutors were unable to secure a conviction over the course of seven months and four trials after Gray, 25, died from injuries sustained in the back of a police van on April 12, 2015. 

The state’s arguments often hinged on officers’ missteps during the arrest, including their failure to secure Gray inside the van, which may have led to him suffering a severe spinal cord injury. He died a week later. 

His death sparked protests nationwide, and outrage across Baltimore. His funeral was followed by rioting, looting and fires all over the city.
