BALTIMORE | The judge who will decide the fate of a police officer charged in the death of Freddie Gray on Thursday blasted city prosecutors for failing to turn over evidence that could exculpate the officer.
On the opening day of the trial for Officer Caesar Goodson, Baltimore Circuit Judge Barry Williams said that prosecutors violated Maryland court rules when they failed to turn over to the defense a discussion with Donta Allen, the second man placed inside the transport van after Gray was injured.
Im saying you dont understand what exculpatory means. Im telling you that this [evidence] needs to be considered, Judge Williams told prosecutors. If you dont understand that then I dont know what else you dont understand.

paying off a black family with whitey money from taxes?. ...what’s the problem? /sarcasm/
The judge in this case is black.
Is the defendant black? If so, they’ll hang the woman prosecutor out to dry.
Yep...I and everyone on this forum could not believe the actions of Rawlings-Blake and Mosby from when this fiasco started, through the riots and then the lightning fast indictment of the officers.
There’s no way either one of them can deny their personal agenda, it was an in-your-face attempt at a mob lynching for their own political future and no one will ever convince me it wasn’t.
They would not have gotten away with it had they not been black, and thank G-d this judge seems to see through their self promotion.
Yes, officer Goodson is black.
If it was a white officer I’m not sure the judge would respond in the same way.
oops — Didn’t Trump get in trouble for saying something like that?
That is so sad. Baltimore has such rich history and until they get someone in there that’s not afraid (or have sense enough to know how to run a city) to take the reins and do what’s necessary to bring her back to the city she once was it won’t get any better.
I know cherry....makes sense to me......grrrrrrr
Dismiss the case entirely.
And disbar Mosby.
Useless to even hope for such a thing . The city is 80% black and they keep bringing the same type of Mayors and Council members back over and over again .
Agreed!
I agree 100%.......like so many cities like Baltimore....
If you were a lawyer, you would know that the function of courts is emphatically NOT about justice. Of course the courts claim to be about that, it's a marketing gimmick.
I don't see how this officer can have a fair bench trial at all.
His case, and all of the others need to be tossed.
Even if by some stroke of fate he's convicted, the appeal will take five minutes to throw it out.
Disbarment should be enforced on these scum. “Scolding”, my ass.
Live and learn.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
