Highest-ranking Baltimore officer in Freddie Gray case faces trial
Thu, Jul 7, 2016
(Reuters) – The highest-ranking Baltimore police officer charged in the death of black detainee Freddie Gray goes on trial on Thursday with Maryland prosecutors still seeking their first conviction in the high-profile case.
Lieutenant Brian Rice, 42, is the fourth to be tried of six officers charged in Gray’s death in April 2015. Gray died from a broken neck suffered in a police transport van.
His death a week after being arrested triggered rioting in which nearly 400 buildings were damaged or destroyed in the majority black city of 620,000 people.
