The trial against the officers accused in the death of Freddie Gray has come to an end much to the disappointment of a community after state prosecutors dropped all charges against the remaining three Baltimore police officers Wednesday morning.
Chief Deputy State’s Attorney Michael Schatzow made the announcement that they’re dropping their charges against Garrett Miller, William G. Porter, and Sgt. Alicia White during a hearing this morning, according to the Baltimore Sun. The announcement came on the morning that was supposed to mark the beginning of the Officer Miller’s trial.
The decision comes after State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s uphill battle to find the six officers criminally accountable for Gray’s death.
William Porter, who was set to be retried in September, was acquitted of charges in December after a mistrial. Officer Nero, Caesar Goodson and Lt. Brian Rice were acquitted of charges by bench trial.
Freddie Gray suffered life-threatening injuries while being transported in a police van after being arrested for allegedly carrying a weapon. He later died from injuries to his spinal cord.
All of the officers have pleaded not guilty.
