BALTIMORE (AP) — The latest on the mistrial for a Baltimore police officer charged with manslaughter in the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who was injured in the back of a police transport van (all times local):
1:15 p.m.
A court spokeswoman says lawyers have more work to do before setting a date for a possible retrial of Baltimore Police Officer William Porter in the death of Freddie Gray.
Lawyers for both sides met privately with Baltimore Circuit Judge Barry Williams for about 30 minutes Thursday, a day after a hung jury prompted Williams to declare a mistrial on all four charges, including manslaughter.
Maryland judiciary spokeswoman Terri Charles says lawyers will hold at least one more scheduling conference with Williams in coming days. She says that to her knowledge, prosecutors haven't yet decided whether to retry Porter.
