Officer who drove van in Freddie Gray case is acquitted on all charges
Baltimore officer Ceasar Goodson was acquitted of all charges in the Freddie Gray case.
Baltimore police officer Ceasar Goodson who was driving the van accused of giving a “rough ride” has been acquitted on all charges Thursday by Circuit Judge Barry Williams.
Ceasar Goodson acquitted
Officer Goodson, 46, received the most serious of charges including second-degree depraved-heart murder in the death of Freddie Gray last April. Goodson chose to leave his fate in the hands of the judge instead of a jury.
The verdict comes three days after arguments wrapped up in the case. Williams was tasked with deciding when during the ride Gray sustained the injury that led to his death and whether that injury was a result of actions taken or not taken by Goodson.

Ceasar Goodson was also found not guilty of manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office. He pleaded not guilty on all counts.
