But unless the prosecutors can prove the cops were either inside the van throwing the unsecured but shackled Grey around, or deliberately driving the van in a wild manner so as to cause severe injury to Grey, I don't see how in the h..l charges of murder can be filed against the police.
And the evidence revealed says no cops were in the van with Grey. And the driver was upset with the banging noises he heard from inside the van. Which shows he was probably driving normally and not trying to harm Grey. And the records show the cops stopped the van several times to check on Grey. The whole thing is absurd.

The most damning part of the story for the cops, as I see it, is their refusal (multiple times) to render or request medical assistance, especially at the van’s last stop when Gray appeared to be unresponsive. Those repeated failures could go beyond mere negligence, and could be considered reckless disregard for human life (which is what the prosecution would have to prove to get a conviction on the murder charge). A lot will depend on the evidence/testimony about what exactly happened at each of the van’s stops.
And yes, I am aware of the rumors/reports that Gray had a history of seeking medical attention when he was arrested. Plenty of arrestees do, and that may explain why the officers did what they did. But, the bottom line is, if you are a police officer, and you have someone in your custody, and that person requests medical attention multiple times, and you do not provide medical assistance, and the person winds up dead, then you are going to have a lot to answer for.
