Nero was the second accused officers to go on trial, but since he chose to have the judge not a jury decide his case, he will be the first officer to get a verdict in his case.
The trial of the first officer, William Porter, ended in December with a hung jury.
Nero is one of the three officers who participated in Gray's arrest on April 12 of last year.
In this trial, Judge Barry Williams must consider if Freddie Gray’s arrest was legal, and if it is whether Nero’s physical contact with Gray amounts to assault and misconduct.

First it was all about the knife that Ignoramus Mosby said was legal in MD but as her affirmative action "education" dictates forgot that Baltimore City has it's own set of laws where in fact the knife was illegal. Then at the start of the trial the theory was-there was no probably cause to pursue Gray. Eventually the prosecution reluctantly conceded that yes the pursuit was legal under Illinois V. Wardlow.
ReplyDeleteFinally at the very end and in closing arguments the prosecution once again changed theory and said what happened after that was the problem because Officer Nero wasn't aware of why Gray was pursued so him not knowing makes him guilty of the charges.
NOT guilty on ALL 4 charges!!!!!
