Baltimore Police Officer Edward Nero was found not guilty of all charges by a judge Monday morning for his role in the arrest of Freddie Gray.

Nero, 30, had been charged with second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and two counts of misconduct in office, all related to his role in Gray's initial detention and arrest on April 12, 2015.

Nero's lawyer, Marc Zayon, responded to the verdict in a statement.

"Nero, his wife and family are elated that this nightmare is finally over.

"The State’s Attorney for Baltimore City rushed to charge him, as well as the other five officers, completely disregarding the facts of the case and the applicable law,"

[MarvinStinson]

Williams grilled prosecutors during closing arguments last Thursday, questioning whether a crime was in fact committed by Nero.

“So, every time there’s an arrest without probable justification, it is a crime?” Williams asked.

“We believe that the search and arrest without justification are assault, your honor,” Deputy State’s Attorney Janice Bledsoe responded. “There’s no question about that.”

Legal experts say the tone of Williams’ pointed questions during closing arguments gave an indication it would be an uphill battle for prosecutors to win their case against Nero.

Reminds me of the athletes at Duke University a little bit.

Please use care when handling live POW’s.

Probably so.

Smash a $40,000+ police car - go free.

[SaveFerris]

That one is going to be a classic for years.

“Marilyn Mosby needs to resign immediately.”

These days, thanks to the examples provided by their god in the rainbow hut, leftist freaks double down and attack after a big set-back.

I figure she will do the same.

Never make yourself stand out in a riot. The police sniper may not have a better target.

“Baltimore burns while Nero fiddled.”

Would make a great protest sign - but I doubt anyone in the ghetto will think of it. Although I suppose some liberal professor can make up a bunch of them and bring down.

Like the professional banner I saw some muslim terrorists carrying saying “Americans must be hanged”. (I’m guessing if a muslim terrorist had written it - it would have said “hung”.)

[mkjessup]

Most American men are still “hung”, more so than those goat humping Muslim scumbags are.

Q - What do you call a Muslim with a goat?
A - Happily married.

Q - What do you call a Muslim with TEN goats?
A - A *PIMP*

Bring on the Freddie Gray Riots, Part Deux.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

[Busko]

Let the stupidity begin!!! More riots and more racial drum beating!!!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Obama will definitely spout-off by the end of the day...

"The judge, in this case, acted stupidly . . ."

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Most likely the local 'beauty' shop. They always seem hardest hit.

I'm sure that, wherever they hit, any Father's Day cards will be left behind.

Carter owned the Misery Index, right?

>> What’s the safety index in Baltimore today?

The Obama Index.
