The driver was the one charged with murder? That seems quite unexpected. Eagerly awaiting the details...

Its gonna be really hard to disprove the false imprisonment charge. I feel like that charge is almost an automatic for a guilty result.

I completely agree and that is the most horrifying willful action on their part as far as we know, but it is just a misdemeanor after all.

Goodson claims audio exists of him asking other officers to restrain Gray

I was always disgusted by the absurd Nero/Miller charges, but this basically settles it for me. At least 90% of these charges are nonsense, and obviously none of them should result in any sort of criminal punishment. Incredibly upsetting to see such seemingly lovely people's lives ruined in the name of politics.

I can hardly bear to live in this world any longer.

obviously things went really wrong but these officers didn't set out to kill a guy.   I'm curious what was the plan? police make eye contact with a guy and he takes off so they have probable cause to chase and apprehend and search him. But once they found nothing illegal (folding knife is legal) they still arrested him and put him in the van. Why? What were they going to do with him once he got to the station?

Also, let's be real for a moment? Who here is going to call out their superior for such a thing in the moment?

The new thing being pushed is "suspected drug deal" though I certainly don't buy that. How would the prosecutor be unaware of such an important fact?

Goodson sounds like a good guy to flip on the rest of the officers and testify for the prosecution.

Why would he get the strongest charges against him then? Wouldn't you think they just charge someone else with nonsense they didn't do just to testify against the central guy they want to put away? It sounded like the prosecutor wanted to make Goodson the face of this with the murder charge.

Beautiful news today! The rule of the mob cannot prevail. The most obviously innocent of those officers charged was cleared today by a judge.
