“As our investigation has continued, additional information has been discovered, and as is often the case during an ongoing investigation, charges can and should be revised based upon the evidence,” state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby, the chief prosecutor for Baltimore, announced this afternoon.
The grand jury returned the indictments earlier in the day after hearing evidence from prosecutors for two weeks, Mosby said.
The charges outlined in the indictment are nearly identical to charges announced earlier this month — though the grand jury added “reckless endangerment” charges and dropped false imprisonment charges against some of the officers.
Gray, 25, died last month after suffering a spinal injury during an arrest and subsequent van transport, during which he was handcuffed but unsecured. The incident sparked violent protests and a federal civil rights probe into the entire Baltimore Police Department over whether officers engage in a “pattern or practice” of discriminatory policing.
