Freddie Gray in Baltimore: Daniel Lerner’s latest interview with CTV

I was interviewed today by CTV about the latest acquittal in the Freddie Gray case in Baltimore.

For those unfamiliar with the case, this was the tragic case of a young black man who’s neck was broken while handcuffed and in leg irons in the back of a police transport vehicle. The police did not use any seatbelts. Six Baltimore police officers were charged in relation to his death. A jury trial for one officer resulted in a hung jury in late 2015. There are other jury trials scheduled for the summer. Today, one officer who elected for a judge-alone trial, was acquitted. The judge found that the arrest that led to him being placed in the transport van was lawful, and the specific officer did not do anything that led to Freddie Gray’s death.
