Mosby Wants Porter Testimony In All Gray Related Trials

Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby now wants Baltimore police Officer William Porter to be forced to testify for the prosecution at the trial of all five of the other officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray.

CLICK HERE to read Mosby's motion.

In a motion filed this morning before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Barry Williams, Mosby is seeking to compel Porter to testify at the trials of Sgt. Alicia White, Officer Edward Nero, Officer Garrett Miller and Lt. Brian Rice.

Mosby had earlier considered Porter to be a material witness in the trials of Officer Caesar Goodson, and Sgt. White.

Porter's attorneys have been fighting this, noting that even though Porter is offered immunity, his constitutional rights against self-incrimination would be violated, and Porter could even face perjury charges at his retrial in June if his testimony in that trial differs. Porter's first trial last month ended in a hung jury.

He's been offered partial immunity. He should just walk away from her deal. His trial ended up in a hung jury but what they won't tell you is the jury had voted 11 to 1 he was innocent on the manslaughter charge. The single vote for guilty led to the hung jury.
