Policeman acquitted in man鈥檚 death
Print Edition
BALTIMORE police officer Edward Nero was yesterday acquitted of all charges in the 2015 death of black detainee Freddie Gray, an incident that triggered rioting and protests and fueled the Black Lives Matter movement.
Judge Barry Williams, who heard the case in a bench trial, handed down the verdict in Baltimore City Circuit Court. Nero, 30, had faced misdemeanor charges of second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and two counts of misconduct in office.
Nero was the second officer to be tried in Gray’s April 2015 death.
Nero had been charged with arresting Gray, 25, without justification and failing to secure him in a police van, where he suffered a fatal spine injury.
Gray’s death a week after his arrest sparked rioting in the majority black city of 620,000 people. It is one of the incidents that helped stoke the Black Lives Matter movement.
