BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Freddie Gray arresting officer Edward Nero has been found not guilty on all counts by Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Barry Williams.

Nero faced charges of second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and two counts of misconduct in office.

Nero waived his right to a trial by jury. His bench trial began May 12 and final arguments were heard Thursday.

Gray, a 25-year-old black man from the Sandtown area of Baltimore, died on April 19, 2015 of a spinal cord injury he sustained while in police custody.

His death set off more than a week of protests followed by looting, rioting and arson that prompted a citywide curfew.

One thing about Napoleon, he always instinctively knew how to use artillery for maximum effect.

As Emperor, Napoleon redesigned downtown Paris to eliminate twisting side streets in favor of broad geometrically arranged avenues which enabled one artillery battery to cover several of them at once.

Don’t be so sure of that. If anything, they’ll probably double down.

I’ll make a wild guess that Judge Williams knows more about the Freddie Grays of the world than most of us can imagine ...

When you deal with trash like that on a daily basis, I don’t think you get fooled by the media scum that publish pictures of the “victim” as a innocent 12 year old boy.

Well, it’s just now 1pm on the east coast. They’re just getting out of bed and firing up their first blunt of the day.

The weather is perfect for a riot and when it comes enemy homes and shops will be burned down and Trump will gain more support in Maryland which he is going to win BTW. The election of Larry Hogan showed that if given someone to vote for Maryland’s Republicans will turn out. Hillary will be pinned to the horse face Black mayor’s hide and itwill hurt her.

Nero's lawyer, Marc Zayon, responded to the verdict in a statement.

"Nero, his wife and family are elated that this nightmare is finally over.

"The State’s Attorney for Baltimore City rushed to charge him, as well as the other five officers, completely disregarding the facts of the case and the applicable law,"

Williams grilled prosecutors during closing arguments last Thursday, questioning whether a crime was in fact committed by Nero.

“So, every time there’s an arrest without probable justification, it is a crime?” Williams asked.

“We believe that the search and arrest without justification are assault, your honor,” Deputy State’s Attorney Janice Bledsoe responded. “There’s no question about that.”

Legal experts say the tone of Williams’ pointed questions during closing arguments gave an indication it would be an uphill battle for prosecutors to win their case against Nero.
