Haven't been following the trial much, ET, they going to get off?
City officials and schools in Baltimore, a city hit by rioting earlier this year, braced for the possibility of more violent protests as a jury on Tuesday deliberated the case of a police officer charged in the death of a black detainee.
Officer William Porter, 26, is on trial for manslaughter and other charges in Freddie Gray's death from a broken neck suffered in the back of a police van. Gray's death in April triggered protests and rioting and intensified a U.S. debate on police treatment of minorities.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said she was opening an emergency operations center and pleaded for calm.
"Whether you agree or whether you disagree with the jury's ultimate verdict, our reaction has to be one of respect in Baltimore's neighborhoods," she said.

from what I have heard, the guy on trial actually tried to help out, asking if he was buckled in, suggesting that he may be injured etc. I can see him getting off here. I can also see Baltimore burning because of this.

Any time there is rioting and lawlessness it is concerning. It never ends well.

From what I can see, it's a witch hunt, and they're going to hang. They can't even get a change of venue. How are they going to get a fair trial in Baltimore?? It's politically motivated and the DA or whatever she is, is trying to make a name for herself. Hell, they've already settled with Freddy Gray's family (4.5 million). How is that justice??

Which part? Mistrial and I'm sure they'll retry him.
