Not surprising.  Even at the time it was clear that the Baltimore prosecutors were being pressured into bring charges,  Several legal scholars at the time indicated that none of it will stick.  They did not.

Well it appears that NO ONE was responsible for killing Freddie Gray. He apparently just ended up dead in the back of a police van with a broken neck completely by magic.

     They did not meet criminal standards of guilt. That is not to say that they were perfectly aboveboard in their conduct or that they would be safe from civil suits.

Moseby needs to be removed. A horrifying overreach of prosecutorial conduct that likely got at least one or two guilty people acquitted.

Unfortunately I agree. Two were clearly guilty, three clearly not, and one was questionable.

Disgusting.

Awful. If officers like these were charged with murder (as they should), or at least manslaughter, cops wouldn't do this as much.

During that time, Canadaian courts condemned to 6 years in jail a policemen who shot two rounds of bullets on someone wielding a knife.

The first round was totally legal, but due to have been shot alreayd once, the knife guy wasn't an immediate threat anymore and so the second round was "unreasonable, unnecessary and excessive".

Why US courts can't hold policemen to the same standard, that's eluding me, considering common law is the base for both criminal law systems.

One was charged with murder, three others were charged with manslaughter.

The only ones who weren't charged with those high-level crimes were the ones who weren't actually present. They were the arresting officers who handed him over to the van crew and went back to their patrol.

Undercharging was definitely not the issue here.

OK. Good. There was no link and the subject title was deceptive.

Well, that's awful.

Sounds like Candians have no idea either. Just because you shoot someone once doesn't mean they are no longer a threat. If most Candians weren't just so darn friendly maybe they would realize what reality is.

The key word is immediate.
