Van driver found not guilty in Freddie Gray murder trial
Caesar Goodson, the driver of the van in which Freddie Gray sustained injuries that led to his death, has been found not guilty.
Click here for reuse options!Judge Barry Williams made the decision after a bench trial where he alone decided the case, because Goodson opted not to have his case heard by a jury.
Gray sustained his fatal injuries while riding in the back of a police vehicle while handcuffed and not buckled in with a seat-belt. Prosecutors argued that Goodson’s failure to secure his passenger, even after stopping several times on the way to the police station, and his driving, caused Gray’s death.
Defense attorneys argued that Goodson did not drive recklessly, and that Gray caused risk for himself by moving around in the back of the van.

It’s true, people very often inflict wounds like a broken neck or blow to the back of the head on themselves …
Great decision … All hail the police state ….!!!

From what I’ve read it seems the prosecution is inept, to put it kindly.
