Judge Barry Williams hands down verdict Thursday morning
Judge Barry Williams announces his verdict in the trial of Officer Caesar Goodson, one of six officers charged in the in-custody death of Freddie Gray.
Williams ruled on the following seven counts:
Second-degree murder, depraved heart: NOT GUILTY
Manslaughter: NOT GUILTY
Second-degree assault: NOT GUILTY
Vehicular manslaughter (two counts): NOT GUILTY
Reckless endangerment: NOT GUILTY
Misconduct in office: NOT GUILTY
The eight-day trial concluded with closing arguments Monday in front of a courtroom full of people, including Officer Edward Nero and Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby.
The state called a total of 22 witnesses, while the defense presented a truncated case, calling only nine witnesses during the trial. Nero was the surprise and final witness called on Friday by the defense testifying on behalf of Goodson, who chose not to testify.
