I don't understand why people aren't pointing to the obvious here with the cops in Baltimore being charged - there was another prisoner in that van - if a 'murder' took place by means of a 'rough ride', then this other prisoner is a material witness to that 'murder' - which means that either he has denied the rough ride scenario and these charges are a grotesque miscarriage of justice and a disturbing capitulation to mob rule - or he has confirmed the rough ride scenario and the most important question now becomes is he lying to save his ass or telling the truth? Yes, the other prisoner wasn't in the van for the entire trip - but he's already said he heard Gray banging against the wall of the van, which means Gray's spine had not yet been damaged, which means if it was damaged by a rough ride the other prisoner would have been a witness to that - so it all comes down to what he has already said in statements to whomever and whether or not what he has said is true - and if it isn't true, is there any way to prove that.
The other thing to consider is: on and off the record comments by Baltimore cops suggest they feel they're being screwed over and the charges are political - and that's either an alternative narrative they're trying to establish in order to protect themselves - or it's true - and if true and statements made by that other prisoner corroborate that, then watch for those statements to be leaked.
