We don't know what happened to Gray at this point. The rush to judgement by this prosecutor tells us she is making decisions based on politics. The fact that she is not taking this to Grand Jury tells us she doesn't have the case she wants us to believe she has.

Baltimore is a sewer of corruption.

I suspect she’ll take it to a grand jury if it looks like she’s not going to get the judge she wants for the prelim.

A grand jury gives her a chance to stretch out a weak case because the process allows her to make a one-sided presentation without fear of refutation, and to do it all in secrecy. At a prelim, on the other hand, the defense gets a chance, and a judge who feels the charges are bogus can throw out the case.

If the judge’s nickname isn’t some variation on the word “Hanging”, there’ll be a last minute direction change to the GJ.
