This autopsy report should clear most of the officers charged in Grays death.

The only crime that would (or should) result in a conviction would be for negligent homicide (manslaughter), not murder, for failure to secure Gray to his seat after he was shackled. The only officer that should face this charge would be the van driver and any other officer who did not buckle up or secure Gray to his seat.

All others should be (and likely will be) cleared.

What about the repeated failure to respond to his requests for medical attention (until the next-to-last stop, by which point he was already lethargic).

Yep. That’s the way this incident fits into the template. Negligent homicide at worst. That charge is not, I don’t think, a stretch.
