Miller Trial Set For Next Week

In spite of calls from various groups for prosecutors to drop the charges, the next trial of a Baltimore Police charged in the death of Freddie Gray will move forward next week.

An advisory from the court indicates pre-trial motions for Officer Garrett Miller will be heard on Wednesday, with jury selection scheduled for Thursday.

However, Miller is expected to follow the lead of the last three officers to stand trial and request a bench trial.

If that happens, Miller's trial likely wouldn't begin until next Friday at the earliest.

Miller, 27, is charged with second degree assault, reckless endangerment and two counts of misconduct in office. These are all misdemeanors.

Miller will be the fifth officer to go on trial for Gray's death. The last three officers to stand trial, Edward Nero, Caesar Goodson and Brian Rice, were all acquitted in bench trials.
