BALTIMORE (WJZ) Freddie Gray arresting officer Edward Nero has been found not guilty on all counts by Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Barry Williams.
Nero faced charges of second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and two counts of misconduct in office.
Nero waived his right to a trial by jury. His bench trial began May 12 and final arguments were heard Thursday.
Gray, a 25-year-old black man from the Sandtown area of Baltimore, died on April 19, 2015 of a spinal cord injury he sustained while in police custody.
His death set off more than a week of protests followed by looting, rioting and arson that prompted a citywide curfew.

Good luck with that Baltimore DA...
Let Baltimore burn now.
Celebration at the newly opened Starbuck, no?
Oh, wait, is that Ferguson? Never mind, they all look alike.
/quickly dodge out
Whoa!!
Suprising? Hardly. They weren't given their marching orders to riot on their Obama phones. Somebody (VJ) decided riots weren't prudent at this time for whatever reason...
The O’s are tied for first place. Started the season 7-0.
Whoa...now what!!??
God bless Judge Barry Williams for his intellect and fair-mindedness.
give’em a whiff of the grape.
They released the verdict relatively early while the gibmedats are still asleep. They real problems won’t start until this evening when they wake up from their drug/malt liquor induced slumber.
Uh oh! Whitey’s gone too far this time! Damn you, whitey!
And God help the civilians caught in the middle cuz the police and the dindus certainly won’t.
Well there goes the ghetto liqour stores. Maybe they will sober up before the fires are even put out. Not that they will show any shame.
Well, they’ve hardly had time to wake up yet, it’s not even noon.
Yea, that was probably a little presumptuous on my end.....and the bosses are probably still coordinating exactly where to riot for the most effect.
“There’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight!”
Hey, you don’t need a license to own a muzzleloading cannon.
There’s a youtube vid from a movie about Napoleon where he gives rioting Parisians the grapeshot treatment.
For starters, this means all of the other officers will not be tried on criminal charges. Essentially all of the cops now are exonerated.
