I’m not a fan of this State Attorney who charged the 6 cops. Her job is to prosecute with neither pride or passion, and I do not have faith that she intends to.
However, I also believe that the police charged are all guilty to some degree in the death of Freddie Gray. Some just through their inaction and others through their own malfeasance. She didn’t need a grand jury. As much as I think she’s heading into trouble with her attitude, I do believe she’s right that the probable cause to charge the officers is obvious and they have been justly charged.
Would someone PLEASE explain to me how anyone gets tried for a “capital or otherwise infamous crime” without an indictment from a Grand Jury? No one could answer me in the Zimmerman/Martin case. Could the 5th Amendment be any more clear?
...and your belief the police officers are guilty is, of course, based on your long study of all the evidence. /S
