No one was held responsible for Freddie Gray’s death. Now the officers are getting cash.

Note to all prosecutors. Never allow public pressure and your personal biases dictate your duties.
Evidence is still what wins and loses cases.

A total of $167,000 in back pay is going to officers Alicia White and William Porter.

In 2015, Freddie Gray died from a neck injury while in the custody of Baltimore police, and all of the officers involved in the arrest and charged with felonies related to his death have been acquitted.

Monday, two of them got more news: big checks.


The Baltimore Sun reports that Alicia White and William Porter, two of the officers who were there the day Gray was placed in the back of a police van, where doctors believe his spine was severed, will receive a combined $167,000 ($98,855 to White and $70,523 to Porter) in back pay. They’ve both been suspended without pay since May 1, 2015. Now that they’ve been found not guilty, the department’s policy entitles them to be compensated for all the time they would have been working.

The two are just the latest officers involved in Gray’s death to receive back pay since it was determined that they were not criminally responsible. According to the Baltimore Sun, Ceasar Goodson was paid $87,705 in July. Brian Rice got $126, 917 earlier this month.

Prosecutors failed to convince jurors that the officers had caused Gray's death by failing to secure him in a seat belt in the back of the van.

Gray’s death was a cause of protests and riots when it occurred, with Baltimore residents expressing frustration and dismay with what they said was ongoing police abuse in the city’s African-American communities.

First Fact of Life

Life is Not Fair

 

[tinydancer]

If the prosecutor had only done the decent thing and gone after the bloody police departments policy for allowing a passenger in the police van to not be restrained by a seat belt maybe something good could have come out of Freddy's death.

We have a lot of deaths that no one is held responsible for like the 4,500 that died looking for wmds. Oops!

The back-pay is fucking pocket change for the LEOs. Each of the LEOs charged won the fucking Power-Ball lottery when the negro bitch over charged them.
By the time each falsely charged officer 'settles' with the City the City will have coughed up over 100 million bucks in total.
That's a LOT of free meals, school supplies, library computers, free bus passes, even free clothing allowances the inner city negros are going to have less of.
The negro bitch will be blowing truck drivers for crack money behind a fucking truck stop in Nevada next year.

If she moves to Nevada, it will be to take a shot at the Republican that took Harry Reids seat in a couple of years

This was one cluster-fuck from the very beginning by Marilyn Mosby. Activist incompetence at it's fullest.

 

[Claudette]

That prosecutor who used to have a good working relationship with the police fucked herself trying to make a case against those police officers. A non existant case. A case fueled by stupidity and black lives matter bullshit.

She cost the taxpayers a boat load of money and will probably cost them more.

I doubt she will be the Prosecutor for much longer.

 

[eflatminor]

My guess, the idiot did it to himself. Remember that witness in the van with Gray who first stated he heard Freddie trying to cause an injury to himself? It's something Gray had done in the past, I've read. Of course, the witness soon recanted his statement after the inevitable backlash from BLM.

The City is already 'in negotiations' with the lawyers representing the first two LEOs who were acquitted.
The City's lawyers are doing everything they can to forestall having to offer a settlement.
The LEO's lawyers have already petitioned the court for a speedy settlement.
The presiding judge is a very well known supporter of LE.

The tort for malicious prosecution will be easily proven.

Look guys lets take the politics out of this. Let's get real. Let's address the real problem here. No seat belts? You hit the brakes hard? Your alleged offender comes flying off the back seat and smokes himself into a window or another chair in the van?

Not right. Not right at all.

Now let's reintroduce politics because it can't be taken out. The prosecutor was highly motivated to be a left wing race avenger even though the evidence didn't support the claims being made. The prosecution was so extensive and intense that now lawsuits are underway to hold the DA's office accountable for their racist zeal.

Because they had been suspended for so long without pay, what have they been doing for work for the time being if they were able to get another job during the time period? If this whole situation only made it hard for them to find work, in my opinion, they should be given more than what they are being given to make up for the paychecks that they lost.

God bless you and them always!!!
