Prosecutors seeking murder charges over Freddie Gray’s death rested their case against Caesar Goodson on Wednesday with an expert witness who crumbled under cross-examination. His testimony was the latest of several blows in the trial that experts say is prosecutors’ best shot at getting a conviction for Gray’s death.
After failing to win in the first two trials, the case against Caesar Goodson is especially important for Marilyn Mosby, the embattled state’s attorney.
Goodson was the driver of the van in which Gray was transported, and faces the most serious charge of second-degree depraved heart murder. Gray died of a spinal injury the medical examiner says he sustained in the van, prompting citywide protests.
Witness Stanford O’Neill Franklin, a former police commander, was called to support the prosecution’s theory that Gray suffered what is known as a “rough ride”, a practice in which a driver jolts and takes sharp turns, jostling a prisoner who is handcuffed and shackled without a seatbelt.
But when asked by defense attorney Matthew Fraling whether he saw any evidence of Goodson’s erratic driving, he couldn’t say.
Asked if, in reviewing footage of the van’s stops, he saw evidence of unexpected starts, stops, or turns, Franklin answered: “I did not.”
“It’s not your contention that Officer Goodson in any way engaged in a rough ride?” Fraling asked.
“I can’t say for sure,” Franklin responded.

It is cold comfort to know that in some small way, the American judicial process still functions. Despite the idiocy of the media, and the mendacity and fascism of the political class, once you get down to the actual process of trial by jury - sometimes the right thing occurs.
Oh, and Mosby is a turd.
well, the ferals were able to get some new tvs and lots of drugs, so there’s that...
And when this ends up in no convictions for any of the cops, the city will burn again.

She makes Algonquin J. Calhoun look like Perry Mason.
It served the purpose of identifying her as down for the cause. She has earned herself a long political career.
Probably no convictions for the black defendants. We’ll see about the others.
This prosecutor will make millions rising through various stations of the progressive machine, where competence or ethical core is not part of the job description.
The #BLM puppeteers at the Rainbow Mosque were testing out their system of inciting anarchy.
Riot! Riot! Riot!
Motion to dismiss should be filed after that.
I’d love to see Mosby in the defendant box.
Bingo.
“Judge Williams said that the defense expects to be able to offer a “truncated” case.”
