Grand Jury Indicts All Six Officers for Freddie Gray Death
Six Baltimore police officers were indicted Thursday on charges connected to the April 19 death of Freddie Gray.
According to CNN, the indictment was announced Thursday during a press conference. The indictments came after prosecutors presented evidence to a grand jury for two weeks, Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby said.
The list of charges in the indictments the grand jury returned differs slightly from charges Mosby announced earlier this month. The changes have been altered to fit the individual crimes her office believes each officer committed. All six of the officers now face charges of reckless endangerment, and several other allegations have been removed.
“As our investigation has continued, additional information has been discovered, and as is often the case during an ongoing investigation, charges can and should be revised based upon the evidence,” she said.
Gray, an African-American man, sustained a fatal spinal injury while in police custody and died at a hospital one week later on April 19.
The officers are scheduled to be arraigned on July 2.
