On May 1st six Baltimore police officers were charged in connection to Freddie Gray’s murder, the 25 year-old who suffered a spinal cord injury and died while in police custody.

Officer Charged With Freddie Gray’s Murder Says He Asked Other Officers To Restrain Him
Charges against the other officers varied. All were accused of misconduct and second-degree assault. Three were charged with involuntary manslaughter.
The family of the police driver accused of the murder of Freddie Gray say he is haunted by images of the dying prisoner slumped in the back of his van.
Officer Caesar Goodson, 45, voluntarily surrendered to police at noon today and faces up to 30 years in jail for the charge.
A source close to the Goodson family say the 16-year veteran has been plagued by flashbacks and nightmares over the death of Gray who died April 19 from injuries sustained in the back of the paddy wagon driven by Goodson.
They told Daily Mail Online he is distraught with himself for not personally checking the 25-year-old prisoner was strapped in adequately but does not accept he is criminally responsible.
