The Baltimore police have finished their investigation into how a young man suffered a fatal spinal injury while in police custody, and have handed their findings off to prosecutors, officials said Thursday.
The announcement opens a new phase in a case that has riveted the city, sparking demonstrations and unrest, as the focus shifts to the new, relatively untested states attorney for Baltimore, Marilyn J. Mosby. Her office will fold the police findings into its own investigation.
But officials continued to warn that completion of the police inquiry would not translate into new revelations for the public about what happened on April 12 to Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old man who died. The Police Department has stated that it will not disclose what it has found, and Ms. Mosbys office has said that it does not expect to make any significant release of information until it has assembled a more complete picture of the incident.
If the states attorney decides it wants to prosecute any of the officers involved, it will take its case to a grand jury to seek an indictment. In all, criminal charges could still be months away, if they come at all.

All it's going to take is the media and Fox News harping this enough to instill just enough doubt in future jurors.
Though I really don't know how anyone could succeed at severing their own spine. Total crap.
