Maryland: Jury Selection Begins for 2nd Officer in Freddie Gray Case

HeadlineJan 11, 2016

In Baltimore, Maryland, jury selection begins today for the second police officer to go on trial for the death of Freddie Gray. A family attorney says Gray’s spine was “80 percent severed at his neck” from fatal injuries in police custody in April. Officer Caesar Goodson, who drove the van in which Gray is believed to have suffered the fatal injuries, faces the most serious charges of any of the six indicted officers. The first officer tried for Gray’s death, William Porter, saw his case end in a mistrial last month; he faces a retrial in June.
