Mosby's announcement on the steps of the War Memorial Building was greeted with cheers and applause. She said she told Gray's family that "no one is above the law," and so as The Baltimore Sun details, the six Baltimore police officers involved in the arrest of Freddie Gray – who died last month after being injured in police custody – have been charged criminally, State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced Friday.
Officer Caesar Goodson Jr., 45, who was the driver of a police van that carried Gray through the streets of Baltimore, was charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter, second-degree assault, two vehicular manslaughter charges and misconduct in office.
Officer William Porter, 25, was charged with involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault and misconduct in office.
Lt. Brian Rice, 41, was charged with involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault and misconduct in office.
Sgt. Alicia White, 30, was charged with involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault and misconduct in office.
Officer Edward Nero, 29, was charged with second-degree assault and misconduct in office.
Officer Garrett Miller, 26, was charged with second-degree assault, misconduct in office and false imprisonment.
Warrants were issued for the arrest of all six officers. It wasn't immediately clear where the officers were on Friday morning.
Mosby said Gray was improperly arrested on April 12 because officers had no probable cause to detain him.
In a detailed recounting of the events, Mosby described Gray being repeatedly denied medical attention by police officers, even as he asked for medical help and later was unresponsive in a police van.
Gray suffered a "severe and critical neck injury" as a result of being handcuffed, shackled and being unrestrained in the van.
Mosby said an investigation found officers bound Gray's wrists and ankles and left him stomach-down on the floor of a police van as they drove around West Baltimore. Despite his repeated requests for medical attention, they did not provide it and continued to drive without securing him in the van, she said.
Officers on at least five occasions placed Gray in the van or checked on him and failed to secure him, she said. By the time they reached the Western District police station, he was not breathing and in cardiac arrest, she said.
Mosby said her office did a "comprehensive, thorough and independent" investigation that began April 13, the day after Gray was injured.
"My team worked around the clock, 12- and 14-hour days," she said.
Mosby called on the public to remain calm.
"I heard your call for 'no justice, no peace,'" she said. "Your peace is sincerely needed as I work to deliver justice on behalf of this young man."

Told ya, you fucking racists. Fuck the pigs and you law and order bastards. You fucking statists. Another Citizen murdered by the MIC.
Considering the officer charged with murder is...black.
CNN just made the case that the police were involved and committed murder. No doubt about it.
We send our Police to be trained in Israel. When they return should we be surprised they treat us like Israelis treat Palestinians? Israel: America's CURSE >>> http://wp.me/p4OZ4v-3z

Michael Moore demands that US cops be disarmed. Hell has frozen over. I agree with the fat sack of birdshit.
In Melbourne Australia a few years ago....
there was a guy who was thrown in the back of a Police van and they decided to rough him up by driving hard and stopping hard and going around corners.....
he was being thrown all over the back of the van...the guy was able to identify where he was through a small window in the back and called 000.
He called the cops to stop the cop van!
They got into trouble.
Scottish Law verdict of "Not Proven".
(It worked for Clinton.)
Man, oh man, there are lot of bank dick suckers here! Why not just admit you are a fascist pig fucker? This is a class war and it is people v. banks. Pigs are the tool. They are low IQ, fat and thuggish!
Ok bank dick suckers....I piss in your soup. Wouldn't try the pudding today...
We know where you eat.
My only disclaimer is I am just another idiot.
That's what Jesse Jackson admitted to doing as a young restaurant cook. Or maybe he just spit on the white man's plate.
He admitted it was just on White people's food.
Bad news on this is that 50% of these pigs are black. That means if every white cop resigns like some of you want, police brutality would only go down by 50%. Fucking cops.
Good first step.Now 500 year sentences for anyone damaging fire hoses...
A police lieutentant and a woman were involved in the murder? WTF is wrong with these people? Everything.
While not a lawyer I can see where the Police Union will use much of this "Trial by Media" as prejudicial to a fair trial for the accused officers. I can't see where they would draw an unbiased jury pool in Maryland.No,the real winners here are the lawyers billing the taxpayers by the hour.Also,I can see where the insurance companies for CVS and the other properties destroyed will go after the City of Baltimore for clear cut negligence.If proved that political pressure was put on the police Admin.,to "limit the response" of the police,then I can see incompetence and neglect of duty.Most awake judges will find the same....
Also,I feel sad that it is illegal to protect oneself and family in Maryland,with deadly force,using firearms.If the police acknowledge that they are overwhelmed and underresourced,during what most observers would describe as a mini-insurrection,with no response activity,then I think the time has come to reevaluate the firearm laws regarding self defense in urban environments.
Just like all the other stories, it pays to read about the whole incident, to be able to form an opinion that is not dictated by headlines.
One nugget of interest is that, whether or not Gray (who was a drugdealer) got injured because of the black driver or during the arrest by the white cops,
it was three black cops who let him die, all individually, by not helping him: The driver, the cop inspecting Gray at the first stop, and the cop at the second stop. Both asked if Gray needed medical help, both got a 'yes' answer, and both neglected to actually do what they were supposed to, namely call for medical help.
So tell me, what is this riot about again? When protesting 'black lives matter', shouldn't at least the people that by their illegal inaction showed complete indifference to a black life, not be black themselves? I wonder if 'no justice, no peace' means the white cops need to be indicted?
RACIST! HATER!
Another decision designed to maximize controversy. They do not indict cops for being recorded on video murdering someone lying helplessly on a subway floor, or running away or for choking someone to death for selling individual cigarettes.
They wait to charge someone when it is not clear anyone touched the guy.
MY GOD YOU STUPID LIARS REPEAT CHOSENITE MEDIA LIES AS FACTS!
Nobody murdered any of these violent trash negroes.....Everything every kneegrow said has turned out to be a pathetic lie, but you and the Chosenite media keep repeating them as fact.
You are a filthy disgusting racebaiter.
# black lies matter....to idiots like you
OK, so now indict Corzine.
Bonfire of the Vanities, anyone?
Black protesters are the "useful idiots" of choice used by the powers that be to create mini-insurrections, social disturbances, "false flags," etc.;
Black political figures and spokesmen/women (black U. S. President, black U. S. Attorney-General, black Secretary of Homeland Security, black mayor of Baltimore, black Attorney-General of Maryland, Congressional Black Caucus, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Oprah, etc.) provide the "moral" camouflage for the call for the elimination of democratic rights and the establishment of a fascist government.
America will experience the social chaos and destruction that it has caused many of the world's people. American blacks, former slaves, will usher in this chaos - how ironic.
American blacks "will" usher in chaos???? They've been doing that for over 100 years FFS!
Yep the Chosenite media uses blacks because their IQs are so low they are not capable of independent thought or reasoning.....so they lash out with violent animals whenevr confronted with a perplexing situation....
THIS IS CHOSENITE RACIAL DIVISION 101 SHEEPLE.....
THE RACIST NEEGROW STATE'S ATTORNEY ADMITTED SHE BOWED DOWN TO MOB RULE PRESSURE.....
This is a racist neegrow conspiracy between Mosby, Obama, Lynch/Holder and the mayor of baltimore.....all who attended Obama's NATIONALIZE THE POLICE meetings......and just coincidentally racist trash Negro Al Sharpton (who also attended) just called for NATIONALIZING THE POLICE.....
It seems Most ZHers are as stupid as the rioting negro community in blaming the police.....
Bullsh!t dumbass. Any one with 1/2 a brain [obviously not you], done their homework, knows Baltimore PD has horrendous history of abuse to community civilians. It's a documented fact.
Answer me this Mr empty-brain BoredRoom, why has City of Baltimore paid out 5.3 million to families suing for wrongful deaths and injuries in recent years?
Because lawyers like nice cars?
"Larry H. Parker" got 1 million, but the vics still can't walk to the bathroom.
Try to restrain yourself, System - no ad hominem attacks.
I'm sorry your white daddy went to prison and left you without a role model.
"And it has been made apparent to me that my chances of re-election in Baltimore hinge on a conviction in this case."
Now that I sobered up, would like to say that all fines, court costs, payout awards, rebuilding the city should come out of the police force salarys. Not the tax payer.
Where the fuck do you think it comes from to begin with?
True, what do you suggest then? We are going to pay their salarys anyway. Make them give their salary back.
Maybe now it wont take three hours to get into the Aquarium.
Uh, what is due process for the whole ball of wax, Alex?
