Officers is in the spotlight and on the spot accused by Police Supporters and surrogates of rushing to justice and have having a conflict of interest and she disagreed and something people out here have been demanding, some suspect of accountability. When asked how she believed she will deliver accountability she answered you are getting it. Tonight well keep an eye on the courtroom and the facts of the case and another on the Bigger Picture in baltimore and beyond. I want to begin with our Jason Carroll on the streets of baltimore tonight. Jason, a very different scene on the streets of baltimore all throughout the day since the announcement was made today. Reporter anderson i have to tell you, several days ago it what a it was a much different experience than what we are experiencing here. Right now thousands of people are weaving their way watch your back watch your back weaving through mlk boulevard, weaving through mlk and chanting and honking in solidarity. And they marched past the intersection through peninsula and north. And then they peached past the point where freddie gray was initially stopped by the six officers. Then to point where he was arrested. Then on to the Police Station and now it appears they may be marching back towards city hall. I imagine a number of people here in the crowd are going to be very happy to see the booking photos of the six officers released. It is a feeling offee legislation and skepticism as some people are saying this is just one step in the justice process. Anderson. Jason, one step indeed and a step taken much quicker than many people imagined it would. Few people predicted that today charges would be announced. Now going to Miguel Marquez also on the move with protesters. And i was out by the cvs today in baltimore. There was a heavy Police Presence as well as National Guard presence there. While people were beginning to celebrate, im beginning to wondering, are there a lot of people on the streets following the protesters but because of the change in mood not quite so monitored . Reporter weve seen no police today. We saw some yesterday for the first time and this this protest is absolutely amazing. Look at this anderson. The truck there that you see in front of you, is going the wrong way down mlk boulevard here. There are thousands of protesters in this crowd. The three different protests descended on penn and north. Hello, hello. Three different protests all to pen and north and now snaking toward downtown. Literally taking over streets of the city. And everywhere you go this. The honking. And everybody showing support there this. It is a sight to see. One thing that everybody i have spoken to has said though just like jason has heard, that today is one day and it is a day for excitement but they are waiting for the possibility of that trial, and what happens to those six officers whether or not they actually serve any time. Anderson . And the states attorney pointing out the investigation will continue. Evidence still to be gathered. Well check in with you through the next two hours were on the air, through the 10 00 hour. Richard shipley spoke to reports saying the family is satisfied with the charges today. Whoever comes to our city a city that we love a city that we live in come in peace. And if you are not coming in peace, please dont come at all. Because this city needs to get back to work. Reaction from the family tonight. A quick look at how we got here. Our correspondent pamela brown has that. We have probable cause to file criminal charges. Reporter Baltimore States attorney Marilyn Mosby not mincing words, saying before freddie gray was placed inside of the police van, he never should have been arrested. No crime had been committed by mr. Gray. He was found krarying a knife but the prosecutor said it was legal. Mr. Gray was placed in a prone position with his arms handcuffed behind his back. At this time he indicated he could not breathe and requested an inhaler to no avail. Reporter mosby said not only did the officers not fail to get him help but they made a grave mistake of putting him into the police van. At no point was he secured while in the wagon, contrary to a bpd order. And while the exact route was unknown, it made the first stop here where officers took him out of the van to put shackles on his legs and flex cuffs on his wrists. The officers loaded him back into the wagon, placing him on his stomach head first on the to the floor of the wagon. Once again he was not secured by his seat belt into the wagon. Reporter the officer driving the van made another stop here. Despite stopping for the purpose of checking on mr. Grays condition, at no point did he seek nor did he render any medical assistance for mr. Gray. Reporter several blocks later he stopped for a third time and three other officers arrived to check on mr. Gray. Mr. Gray asked for help and indicated he could not breathe. The officer porter asked mr. Gray if he needed a medic and mr. Gray indicated at least twice that he was in need of a medic. Reporter mosby said they did not call a medic and failed to seat belt gray. The vans driver decided to move on. At the fourth stop they picked up donte allen who was put on the other side of the metal partition. The only thing i heard was banging. I tho was banging his head or something. Mosby said he was again neglected. Porter and white observed him unresponsive on the floor of the wagon. But 25 minutes later when they received the Police Station that a medic was called. At that point he was in cardiac arrest and not breathing. The medical skaum inner decided it was a homicide. He was handcuffed and shackled by his feet and unrestrained inside of the bpd wagon. All six officers are facing criminal charges including assault and misconduct and the van driver is carrying a charge that could carry a sentence of up to 30 years. And some of the officers say this was a rush to judgment and will fight. And all six officers have posted bond. And there is a lot to talk about. Sunny hostin and a former prosecutor and friend of the mayor, stephanie raulins blake. And harry houck. And jeffrey toobin. You did not expect these charges today. What do you make of them and the severity. These are serious charges. She better be right. She better have the backup to win the cases. And it will be a challenge. Buzz you have a lot of because you have a lot of defendants and youll have to assign individual responsibility and describe the role of each one. So far it appears none of them are cooperating but that is something to keep an eye on them whether any of them cuts a deal and testifies against the other. Is it possible that some of the charges were brought in order to coerce somebody one of them or several of them to cooperate against others. Because weve already seen the person who who is deeply connected to one of the officers who i interviewed, that officer was already pointing the fingers at arresting officers as having caused this injury and that officer believed and it is not as if there is a united friend. And officers will try to exploit that. And when there are divisions, there can be a race to the Prosecutors Office to cut the first deal. Because the person who comes in first gets the best deal from prosecutors. But that is getting ahead. Im particularly surprised by the murder charge. For the driver of the wag wagon. Yes. Because that is intentional harm inflicted on someone and i think it is a real challenge in the absence of some sort of admission, where he said something to someone to make a charge like that stick. But when you think about what it was like for freddie gray to be trussed up like that and to be bouncing around with his head exposed, it is a horrific horrific thing. And if it was done in a criminal way, these charges are going to be very tough. And sunny, because the states attorney would not go into detail into the evidence of the ongoing evidence and because of the upcoming trial, we dont know the full detail or the medical examiners report which would give a better sense of what happened to mr. Gray inside of the van . I think that is right. We dont know everything. Although i will say i was surprised that the states prosecutor was comfortable enough with giving so much information. Because investigations are basically ongoing, even when youve already charged someone. So the fact that she is now tied to the narrative she gave to the world that, was a bit surprising to me. It must mean she is very very convinced of the probable cause here. It must mean she has an exceptional trust in her investigators and perhaps that is why she came forward so early with these charges. Because we now know she was conducting this independent investigation with investigators in her office as she explained, from day one. And so perhaps that is why she did this so quickly. Harry, the police you called this an egregious rush to judgment. Without a doubt. It is really interesting, but thursday or the other day when the officers turned over the investigation to the States Attorneys Office everybody was talking about how nothing will come out on friday even the state as Attorneys Office was talking about it and then on friday it comes and then we have the charges and they are arrested. Now the friday deadline was a big thing in baltimore because everybody was scared to death of riots so what might have happened and im not sure 100 , but maybe they figured, well lets charge them any way. Lets charge the officers to bring peace to the streets. Right. And then well see if we get an indictment. Do you believe that . If that is true that is hugely irresponsible. You dont file criminal charges for any other purpose than that you think that you have a race you can make. And harry, have i to say i have to say, unless you have evidence of that [ overlapping speakers ] sunny, there were people that i talked to in baltimore today, many were elated but some believe it was influenced by the violence in the street and the speed with which this came about and it was a desire to kind of calm things down . I dont think this is a fair criticism. Agree with jeff. Prosecutors dont do that. A prosecutor has a duty under the law to only bring cases you believe you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt. And lets be clear f. She has been conducting this independent investigation on her own, i dont think it is fair to say there i was rush to judgment because this was never a whodoneit case it was about what happened. I want to bring in professor kobilinsky. The medical examiner part we have not heard it based on the charges, you have learned anything more based on the severity or the nature of the charges . First of all, we have a murder two charge. And i agree with sunny, it is highly unedge wal to charge if you dont have enough evidence to convict. But what we do know and if you dont have an autopsy report we do know that miss mosby said the cause or the manner of death is homicide. And that means death at the hands of another person. It doesnt mean that it is murder. You can have justified homicide for example a Police Officer shooting in selfdefense. This is what medical examiners do, they make a decision based upon the autopsy and Police Investigation and based upon all kinds of information that comes together deciding whether it is an accident whether it is a homicide or cause unknown. Sunny, it was interesting to have the states attorney go through point by point, officer by officer, not only describing the charges against the officer but basically what she believes was their failing during this arrest. Not only what she called an illegal arrest because he didnt have a switchblade which the police early on reported but she detailed failures by each Police Officer all along the way. That is highly unusual. And not only just because we typically dont see it because prosecutors dont want to be tied to that kind of native when you have an Ongoing Investigation and it is unusual because under maryland law, our code of ethics maryland attorneys, you are prohibited to give that sort of pretile pub pretrial publicity and as a chief prosecutor it is chiefly not done. So i suspect youll have some challenging her and asking her to recuse herself to being so vocal and provocative about what she thought the evidence was in this case. Well continue the conversation through the next two hours. But coming up next more on who the six officers are and what they are facing and at the end of a week in baltimore and throughout the country. More from the streets ahead.

Vo after years of being treated like she was invisible it occurred to mindy she might actually be invisible. But mindy was actually not invisible. Ooh, what are you doing . Can you see me . She had just always been treated that way. Yeah. You dont have to look at me like that. There are worst things than an attractive woman touching your body. Ill go. Join the nation that sees you as a priority. Nationwide is on your side we are here with marches on prat street. Jason, what are you seeing . Anderson basically, when you see everything happening here thousands of people who are now passing charles street and prat downtown you are hearing from voices who feel for generations who havent had a voice, people who felt disenfranchised not listened to abused by Police Departments grandmothers and grandfathers telling their children feeling this way. I spoke to one person who said i finally feel like people are listening. We marched now for five miles and how much mar can we go. And she said ive waited for a night like this all of my life. And if you look up prat they are still a thousand strong. And i put my photographer on the truck in front of me. I know were coming up on a curfew at 10 00. Still remaining a question in terms of whether or not people are feeling so much elation will decide to go home at 10 00. In the meantime Anderson Well keep marching right along with them. And well keep checking in with you. We wand to expand on the six officers and what they are facing. The four charged with manslaughter and murder have a lengthy procedural road ahead of them. None of them have it easy. All vix is now posted bond. For more on what we know about them drew griffin joins us now. Drew what do we know . Collectively this is so serious, they are collectively facing up to 173 years in prison. As weve been reporting, up until the time of the booking we didnt know the races. Now we know three of the officers are white and three are africanamerican including the driver of the van, anderson who faces the most serious of charges, cesar goodson, jr. , 45 years. Been with the Department Since 1999. Only six charges, including the sirg murder and manslaughter. That is a possible 63 years in prison for this officer. Also facing six charges, the most senior officer involved with the arrest lieutenant brian rice. 41 sand white with the Baltimore PoliceDepartment Since 97 and been involved in a nasty domestic situation with another baltimore Police Officer, a couple fighting over custody. And the mother calling police and they removed weapons including his Service Weapons and was driven to a hospital. And now rice facing Involuntary Manslaughter and another possible sentence for him. And then the bike cops originally arrested freddie gray much younger. Edward nero 29 years old and white on the force three years. Five charges, the most serious assault, in the firstdegree. Garrett miller 26 years old and also white. It was miller and nero frisking freddie gray. They claim this is when they confiscated a switchblade. They claim this gave them reason for arrest. There is no reason freddie gray should have been arrested at all said the prosecutor. For that reason miller nero and rice are charged with false imprisonment. Porter 25 years old, black, and hired in 2012 three charges, including Involuntary Manslaughter and sirg seconddegree assault. And including alicia white, the sergeant three charges. And none of them have been charged with any failure of duties in their past. Anderson back to you. And joining us mark gehrigo and david clinger, mark earlier, i think sunny said it would be unethical for the states attorney to bring charges she couldnt prove and i heard your house in the back of my head saying that is absurd prosecutors lob on charges in order to get somebody to roll on to somebody else. Do you think that would go on. I wish sunny was here so it wouldnt sound like i was piling on her and so it wouldnt be her naivete. And ideally they have looking for the driver or the younger gentleman who you just talked about. And you believe the driver has the most serious charges . I do. I think they are looking to get him to rog to roll on the other officers and to blame him. That is what you want to see if you are a prosecutor. And that press conference with the prosecutor was unethical. It violates the ada rules and the state rules. Because of the level of detail. Right. You cant give that level of detail. If that were a defense lawyer that is a prima facie violation of the rules. And how quickly the prosecutor made a decision in this case this is not quick. Imagine if this were a civilian who kidnapped somebody off the street and threw them in the van and gave them a rough ride and they died the police would take that to the prosecutor and say they died and it was a kidnapping and im going to file charged and this is in essence a kidnapping. And david, a mo
