(CNN)A Baltimore judge is due to issue a verdict Monday morning for Lt. Brian Rice, the highest-ranking police officer charged in the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray, who suffered a broken neck in a police transport van on April 12, 2015. ####### - Involuntary manslaughter; - Second-degree reckless assault/reckless endangerment, and; - Misconduct in office for failing to secure Gray with a seat belt inside a police vehicle.

Could be very soon this A.M.

I’ll bet he gets hammered.

Judge, verdict .... it wasn’t a jury trial??

[PghBaldy]

So far, no jury trials.

[rktman]

Better yet, like the last 3 cases.......DISMISSED. By a black judge no less. Looks like DA marylinn mosely may once again be in trouble.

So if he is found guilty I am sure there will be celebrations in the street.

If he is found innocent, then expect riots and police to be attacked. Furthermore, expect the Feds to take this guy to court where he will certainly be found guilty.

We must be due for a re-riot, no?

[Gay State Conservative]

I'm no lawyer but it's easy for me to see why a jury trial might be unwise for these cops.

[headstamp 2]

That’s what I’m hoping for but I have a bad feeling about it.

[PghBaldy]

2 acquittals & 1 mistrial so far.

This judge has not been happy with the prosecution ... AGAIN.

Thank you.

[CGASMIA68]

Not sure on this one.Seat belt thing may be a problem but I didn’t hear any evidence

[Blood of Tyrants]

Considering that the make up of a jury in Baltimore is likely to include several cop-hating blacks, it’s a good move.

[CGASMIA68]

CNN has really sickened me as of late.
Never liked them but lately they are just out right biased and I no longer consider them a news organization but a propaganda arm for the Democrats

I would be ashamed to be on that staff.disguating

[cherry]

you just realized that?....its been common knowledge here on FR for many yrs...

any and every medis outlet is suspect.....you have to look for the truths among the crap...

[samtheman]

If you haven’t seen it already, check out the thread from yesterday when Shep on FOX got his panties in a wad with Bobby Jindal - 232 comments. I saw it when it happened - Shep is just disgusting and hangs his hard left bias out flapping in the breeze all the time. I can’t watch him anymore, just an accident that I saw his latest melt down yesterday.

Shep Smith is an A-#$@%
