The evolving narrative in Baltimore received a new wrinkle today when all 6 officers involved in the death of Freddie Gray were arrested and charged, to varying degrees, with murder.
The driver of the police van in which Gray sustained the injuries that ultimately led to his death faces the most jail-time, however.
Caesar Goodson is being charged with “second-degree ‘depraved heart murder.” He is the only officer involved in the incident to receive the charge.
However, a source close to the Goodson family has said that the officer repeatedly insisted that his fellow officers in the van restrain Gray—pleas that went unheeded.
This, ultimately, led to Gray’s death; medical examiners recently announced that he died from head injuries suffered while in transit. Prisoners are supposed to be restrained in order to protect against unnecessary rattling which, as in this case, can lead to serious injury.
The unnamed source and friend of the Goodson family spoke to Daily Mail UK:
“When he became irate Caesar called in and said ‘you have got to restrain him.’ That’s on the audio,” he said.
“They did, they restrained his legs. But when they did that they still should have put him in the seat belt.”

This is going to turn into a total zoo.

AND THE BLAME GAME COP A PLEA GAME BEGINS.
Going to turn?
Wait till an all black, jury of peers, starts picking guilt and innocence based on color, begins.

I think thats what ‘they’re want...heard much about Hillary’s problems lately?
‘rattling about’ is not the same as ‘throwing himself around the back of the van’
it’s now considered murder because the guy wasn’t belted in and then threw himself around the van??
if a mother doesn’t belt her kids into a seat, can she be charged for attempted murder?
kangaroo court convened by a lynch mob.
enjoy your liberal city. say hi to detroit as you pass
Stupid autocorrect...they
that was started with the ‘jury nullifications’ of the 90s
This guy is gonna find out what all those virgins sacrificed at the Temple of Ba’al at high noon felt.
Regrettably, and this is a really sad statement when it comes down to commending an entity, the only ones standing up for this officer’s rights are his UNION.
I call that a fine Howdy Do and irony, myself. Here he is a black man, and the forces arrayed against him are: a black mayor, a black States Attorney, and potentially a black Attorney General of the US - all three women.
It really sucks to get on the wrong side of liberal deception and the arena of ulterior motives, dude.
The lawyers for these six will move for a change of venue in the faint hope of fair trial.
I imagine that the not guilty verdicts will be in just in time for the November 2016 elections, just as planned.
Exactly what the prosecutor is hoping for.
Maybe the six will speak up and not stand in silence. Last I read, this guy had not even been interviewed by investigators yet. Will they be honest or lie?
I suspect we will see some (or all) defense teams subpoena Valerie Jarrett to investigate the extent to which she influenced the decision to prosecute.
The commie piggies’ plan to overcharge these people is starting to work. Scare the piss out of them all and they’ll admit to anything. It’s like waterboarding without the water or the board.
Notice this officer does not address the unscheduled and unrecorded stop.
“...he died from head injuries suffered while in transit...”
Q: Just HOW does one get head injuries - enough to KILL you, while being driven through Baltimore?
We’re not being told the WHOLE truth.
You don’t die from being bounced around; the roads in the Detroit area are as bad as I’ve seen around the country and they aren’t enough to cause damage.
Did they go Off-roading? Did someone drop something heavy on his head - repeatedly?
