Gray was injured almost four weeks ago and died three weeks ago. The investigation into his injury and subsequent death have been going on for that whole period. Is Sheriff Clarke suggesting that he couldn't make a case for prosecution in four weeks?
The incident happened April 12th. That’s about two weeks not four. She only received the police report the day before. She didn’t even take time to make sure everything was consistent with what her investigators had. Clarke is not the only one that was surprised she decided to charge so quickly. Other veteran prosecutors said you don’t make a case like this so quickly. We don’t even know if the investigated Freddie’s health history.
It sounds like the illegal arrest is bogus. The knife was not legal in the City of Baltimore. This woman did not investigate the case properly. She fired all the veteran prosecutors who could have helped her and put her own people in.
