“On Thursday, Williams aggressively questioned prosecutors about their assertion that Nero and other officers assaulted Gray by touching him without reasonable suspicion or probable cause.” http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/19/us/freddie-gray-trial-officer-edward-nero/
Thank you. No doubt the defense was getting desperate. So far the locals don’t seem to be throwing a fit yet. (But, it’s only been an hour). Apparently, based on the ruling - Nero can be called on to testify for/against the other officers in the upcoming trials. So, although he is free of all charges - his nightmare is not over yet. He will be spending more time in the courtroom as a witness. What a mess.
