Understand the law, bruh. This is absolutely a case for 2nd degree murder. The overview for second degree murder is as follows:
Gray didnt just bump his head resulting in an accidental death...his spine was severed 80%. He was damn near snapped in two. He suffered incredible injuries. Baltimore PD are known for giving what are called "rough rides", where they intentionally try to hurt suspects in the back of the van by driving crazy and having them bounce and slam around in the back.
We'll see how the evidence shakes out, and what the prosecution knows. I too would have assumed the injuries happened before the ride, but I dont have the evidence sitting before me. As with all cases involving black males the prosecution is going to have to overcome historical bias and the idea that blacks "arent really victims", and are inherent trouble makers and menaces, and therefore disposable to society and not deserving of justice.
I am well aware of this, but were is the proof of this? the result is obviously a 80% severed spine but is there proof this 'rough ride' happened on this specific occasion? is there a concrete video or several witnesses on the ride which caused the severe that would be willing to testify?
It's possible mosby overcharged to try to attempt the police to snitch on each other, but if they don't i dont see how they can even get a 2nd degree murder honestly.
