Freddie Gray: Porter Not Required to Testify Against Arresting Officers

Judge’s ruling allows “Freddie Gray” trials of white officers to proceed without delay

 

Judge Barry Williams, the trial judge in the “Freddie Gray” cases, yesterday ruled that Officer William Porter is not required to testify against the three white officers charged in the case: Edward Nero, Garrett Miller, and Brian Rice, reports CNN.

 

Those officers were primarily involved in the initial arrest of Gray, and less so in his transport during which Gray would suffer his traumatic neck injury. http://legalinsurrection.com/2016/01/freddie-gray-porter-not-required-to-testify-against-arresting-officers/

@Draggingtree!

 

This is the "Progressively logical" next step for the Baltimore's Democrappic tyranny.

 

It has suborned the rights of their serfs in Baltimore legislatively & in the executive...why not the judicial?

 

​Progressive ideology is similar to Islamic ideology...it must absolutely destroy any belief different from their own.
