62. Exactly. To imply the judge was biased in favor of the officers is ridiculous.

Freddie Gray officers suing prosecutor Marilyn Mosby [View all] NaturalHigh Jul 2016 OP

Fuck those murdering motherfuckers. Iggo Jul 2016 #1

My thoughts EXACTLY! cyndensco Jul 2016 #8

Let's hope they are successful. ileus Jul 2016 #2

My thoughts exactly. NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #4

Eh??? Tommy_Carcetti Jul 2016 #10

Criminal negligence does not equal murder. NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #17

It shouldn't get them off the hook, though. Tommy_Carcetti Jul 2016 #21

what do you consider to be the 'callous disregard for human life'? Amishman Jul 2016 #88

when officers are "over charged" in an attempt to get them acquitted.. ReasonableToo Jul 2016 #36

You really think Mosby was trying to get them acquitted? Seriously? NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #38

More than that.... TipTok Jul 2016 #56

Generally speaking, it's a common tactic across the country: ReasonableToo Jul 2016 #89

I don't know all of the facts in the matter Proud Liberal Dem Jul 2016 #5

Cases can be tried on their merits... TipTok Jul 2016 #11

"That is misconduct and I hope they win." NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #60

There was almost unquestionably criminal negligence in this incident. Tommy_Carcetti Jul 2016 #13

wasn't politics that broke that man's spine bigtree Jul 2016 #7

That, is the bottom line. How did his spine get broken, and wouldn't the officers had RKP5637 Jul 2016 #27

So exactly how did Freddie Gray's neck get broken? Tommy_Carcetti Jul 2016 #9

Exactly!!! To me, there is missing information in all of this! n/t RKP5637 Jul 2016 #28

So the solution is charge 6 people with murder Travis_0004 Jul 2016 #48

Yeap, that's exactly what would happen to you if someone was in your vehicle under your care uponit7771 Jul 2016 #63

They were at fault because none of them did anything mythology Jul 2016 #66

The policy to buckle was relatively new... TipTok Jul 2016 #81

Except that multiple incidents did happen in Baltimore. Tommy_Carcetti Jul 2016 #83

Not arguing that... TipTok Jul 2016 #90

It was almost as if Mosby herself created reasonable doubt as to individual defendants lapucelle Jul 2016 #105

Like a moth to the light... TipTok Jul 2016 #110

Most important point, the officiers did NOT secure him in a seat belt still_one Jul 2016 #76

Fuckers. Have they no shame. nt DLevine Jul 2016 #3

FFS treestar Jul 2016 #6

They probably need to recoup some of their legal fees. NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #12

So it costs them a few dollars to get away with murder. I ain't sad. Iggo Jul 2016 #14

According to every verdict rendered in this case... NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #15

Maybe but don't like the concept of treestar Jul 2016 #19

I don't either, but I think there's a good chance a jury will find... NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #20

In Baltimore City? Tommy_Carcetti Jul 2016 #22

Really. Do they hate police that much? NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #23

Hate police? I don't know. Tommy_Carcetti Jul 2016 #24

"And Freddie Gray wasn't the first." NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #25

Certainly. Tommy_Carcetti Jul 2016 #29

Interesting. I didn't know that. NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #32

Well now you do. nt Tommy_Carcetti Jul 2016 #33

Does that change your mind about what might have happened? Rex Jul 2016 #78

Well, it doesn't really fit with video footage... NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #98

Since they are acquitted treestar Jul 2016 #30

"A jury might have decided differently." NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #34

One was a jury trial. Travis_0004 Jul 2016 #49

I remember that. I wonder why he didn't ask for a bench trial. NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #100

True treestar Jul 2016 #26

Is the Gary family suing the officers? Takes less proof in civil sinkingfeeling Jul 2016 #16

They'd certainly have precedent for a recovery. Tommy_Carcetti Jul 2016 #39

They sued the city. former9thward Jul 2016 #86

Kick for exposure nt Homer Wells Jul 2016 #18

No words. Il_Coniglietto Jul 2016 #31

Unfuckingbelievable. I hope there is karma in this world and they receive a very healthy serving. onecaliberal Jul 2016 #35

You do realize that they've been found guilty of nothing, right? NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #37

A man is dead who was alive while under their care. onecaliberal Jul 2016 #40

So you know more than the judge who heard the case. Got it. NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #43

I don't give a fuck about a judge who protects murdering cops. GOT IT!! onecaliberal Jul 2016 #45

Do you care about the law? TipTok Jul 2016 #58

Exactly TeddyR Jul 2016 #41

Yeah, you'd think going 0-4 would be a pretty definitive statement. NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #42

That's a false comparison, the woman in the Duke Lacrosse case made up the rape... Humanist_Activist Jul 2016 #46

Of course he matters. His death was tragic. NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #47

Strawman, it doesn't have to be murder for someone to be charged uponit7771 Jul 2016 #65

Of course not, but weren't some of the officers charged with murder? NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #71

Not the point, the point is that, because he's a black man, his death isn't tragic enough... Humanist_Activist Jul 2016 #112

It may have been likely TeddyR Jul 2016 #54

ONLY because they were tried separately. joshcryer Jul 2016 #68

I don't know what the law is that determines.. NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #70

It's the judges discretion. joshcryer Jul 2016 #72

Let me add a personal touch to Tommy Carcetti's link Uponthegears Jul 2016 #50

While I don't doubt your experiences... NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #51

I wish it were just my experiences Uponthegears Jul 2016 #52

It's clear you have no respect for guy that was murdered by a group of thugs. rockfordfile Jul 2016 #87

I don't believe he was murdered. The court seems to agree. NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #106

A Bench Hearing can be used by any persons 4Q2u2 Jul 2016 #55

Of course that is correct Uponthegears Jul 2016 #57

That all depends on if they intended to keep running for the same office Lee-Lee Jul 2016 #91

Your last paragraph - I've heard that as well. NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #97

Yep. It's far easier to fool or divert a jury than a judge alone Lee-Lee Jul 2016 #104

Those African American cops took bench trials just like their white brothers... TipTok Jul 2016 #59

Often, privilege is fact. LanternWaste Jul 2016 #61

Exactly. To imply the judge was biased in favor of the officers is ridiculous. NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #62

To argue that Uponthegears Jul 2016 #79

I'm sorry you feel that way, but I don't believe that's true. NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #102

I respect your opinion Uponthegears Jul 2016 #107

You bring up a good point... NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #108

I appreciate your insight Uponthegears Jul 2016 #109

And I appreciate your insight and candor. NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #111

The case hinged on them being tried together. joshcryer Jul 2016 #69

That's not how the law works... TipTok Jul 2016 #80

"forcing one to testify against the others"??? joshcryer Jul 2016 #94

Then why was he the first one in state history? TipTok Jul 2016 #95

When it comes to systemic racism Uponthegears Jul 2016 #77

Well, that ought to go a long way toward rebuilding good community relations. procon Jul 2016 #53

Poor Mosby, if those assholes were tried together it would have been open and shut. joshcryer Jul 2016 #67

Yeah, unfortunately, they passed the buck between them... Tommy_Carcetti Jul 2016 #73

"Can't understand why they'll walk off scot free." NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #74

That's a proper defense, of course. joshcryer Jul 2016 #75

You can blame that on Mosby Travis_0004 Jul 2016 #84

They deserved to go to trial for what happened. joshcryer Jul 2016 #93

"Her heart and sense of justice was in the right place." NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #99

She not only overcharged, she withheld evidence from the defense Lee-Lee Jul 2016 #82

Withholding evidence says so much. pintobean Jul 2016 #92

If she withheld evidence... NaturalHigh Jul 2016 #96

I saw a story somewhere that someone had filed to have her disbarred Lee-Lee Jul 2016 #103

The police are out of control. Odin2005 Jul 2016 #85
