Prosecution Seeking Halt In Trials Of Three Officers Who Arrested Freddie Gray

Baltimore prosecutors are asking a judge to delay the trials of three police officers charged in the Freddie Gray case until appellate courts decide if another officer can be compelled to testify against them.

Prosecutors filed the motions Friday in the cases of Lt. Brian Rice and officers Edward Nero and Garrett Miller in Baltimore Circuit Court.

In all three motions, the prosecution argues that Judge Barry Williams did not have the authority to review, "the State's Attorney's vested exercise of lawful discretion in determining that Officer (William) Porter's testimony may be necessary to the public interest in the prosecution of the defendant."

This is ridiculous. Lt Rice and Officers Nero and Miller didn't ask for a COSA ruling. Officer Goodwin did, so only his trial should be postponed as it was. This whole thing has turned into complete chaos. No wonder Baltimore City is such a mess. Idiotic voters who vote solely on race. Yeah keep on killing each other and turning the streets into war zones. Experience is the best teacher for ignorant people.
