BALTIMORE (WBFF) — An assault charge against Lt. Brian Rice, charged in the Freddie Gray case, has been dropped by the judge.

It is the second charge to be dropped against the officer, joining a misconduct charge, which was dropped on the first day of Rice’s trial.

Judge Barry Williams announced the second-degree assault charge would be dropped after the state rested Monday afternoon.

According to the judge, the prosecution failed to show that Rice used the police van as an instrument for assault.

Rice still faces charges of manslaughter, reckless endangerment and a second misconduct charge.

    If after all this is done and charges against all officers rightfully are deemed to be unfounded then the DA should be prosecuted for fraud and whatever else is applicable like wasting tax payers money. That should happen now since I think there are some officers for whom all charges have been unfounded already, but…
    When it comes to government criminals there is always a but…
    I think AG Comey calls that (but)

    and it only applies to selected gov’t individuals.
