Baltimore officer says Freddie Gray needed help

  • 9 years ago
As Freddie Gray was being transported in a police van through West Baltimore, at least one officer warned that Gray needed medical care but wondered, along with others, whether he was faking injuries or being uncooperative, according to investigators who reviewed the officers' statements during a departmental probe.
Those statements - which have never been publicly revealed - help to explain why a judge has ordered separate trials for six officers charged in the incident.
Gray died April 19 from an injury sustained in police custody, according to prosecutors, and his death triggered massive protests that devolved into looting and rioting.
