    State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby made the announcement Thursday. The charges returned by the grand jury were similar to the charges Mosby announced about three weeks ago.

    Mosby has said Gray’s neck was broken because he was injured while being handcuffed, shackled and placed head-first into a police van. She says his pleas for medical attention were repeatedly ignored.

    Gray was arrested April 12. He died in a hospital a week later and became a symbol of what protesters say was police brutality against blacks.

    No surprise. As they say, a prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich.

    Well, well, looks like the knife was illegal all along. They had to go dropping that in a hurry.

    Now it is time to be afraid. If these officers are guilty, then let the guilty pay. They have no business abusing their authority role. But I fear that the trial will actually find them not guilty, and then start the riots all over again. Justice will have been done, and animals will still do what they do best.

    If the police involved are african american, it is obviously not white police brutality against blacks. Just another excuse.

    Can’t wait for the riots to begin once they are found not guilty.

    Great!
    When they are all exonerated, get ready for round 2 of arson, looting, and mayhem. Should’ve just dropped it.

    There is little surprise and no harm in this. Prosecutors prosecute. That is their job. (You will recall the prosecutor in Missouri failed to do his job.) Now these fine police officers will be offered all the protections of a fail and open trial before a jury of their peers. This is the finest and fairest fact-finding method society had.

    I wish them all good luck. I suspect they might need it.

    Well, Justice Scalia said in 1992 that the introduction of witnesses and evidence against prosecution to a grand jury a misuse of that body. I quote.

    “As a consequence, neither in this country nor in England has the suspect under investigation by the grand jury ever been thought to have a right to testify or to have exculpatory evidence presented.”
