death have been indicted.
I haven't seen this diaried yet.
A grand jury has indicted six Baltimore officers on a range of charges after State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby presented her department's investigation into the death of Freddie Gray.
In a press conference Thursday, Mosby announced that the grand jury charged all six officers in connection to Gray's death. Officers Edward Nero, Garrett Miller, Caesar Goodson, William Porter, Sgt. Alicia White and Lt. Brian Rice face a slew of charges ranging from misdemeanor negligent assault and misconduct to involuntary manslaughter, intentional assault and murder.
“On May 1st our investigation revealed that we had enough probable cause to bring charges against the six officers,” Mosby said.
The revised charges add reckless endangerment counts to all of the officers' cases, and remove false imprisonment charges that Mosby had announced after Gray's death was ruled a homicide. Below are the charges, followed by their maximum sentences:
Charges are from Depraved indifference murder for the driver, to involuntary manslaughter and other charges for the other five officers.

At least it's a start of holding cops accountable for killing an unarmed person.
But as we've seen too long fen, just because they've been indicted, doesn't mean that they will be convicted.
There was video evidence showing Eric Garner's death, and yet they all were found not guilty.
Let's hope that this time the result will be different.
