Meanwhile, a key witness in the case has rejected police claims that blamed Gray for his own injuries. A leaked police document says Donte Allen, who was riding in the same van as Gray but divided by a partition, told police Gray “was intentionally trying to injure himself.” But speaking to the station WBAL, Allen said he only heard a light knocking coming from Gray’s side of the van.

Donte Allen: “When I got in the van, I didn’t hear nothing. It was a smooth ride. We went straight to the police station. All I heard was like a little banging for about four seconds, you know what I mean? I just heard a little banging, you know, just little, you know what I mean? Boom boom, just little banging. Just little banging.”
