Maryland – Closing arguments set for fourth officer’s trial

0

Closings arguments are set in the trial of Lt. Brian Rice, the fourth Baltimore police officer charged in the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray whose neck was broken in the back of a police van. Rice’s bench trial is to resume Thursday. He is facing charges of manslaughter, reckless endangerment and misconduct. Gray died in April 2015, a week after he suffered a spinal injury while he was left handcuffed but unrestrained by a seatbelt while being transported in the police van. Rice is the fourth and highest-ranking officer to stand trial for Gray’s death. Two officers were previously acquitted and proceedings for another ended in mistrial.
