USA: Baltimore Protests Hit Hung Jury Verdict in Gray Case

  • 8 years ago
Protests erupted Wednesday night in Baltimore, Maryland, after a mistrial was declared in the case of police officer William Parker, accused in the high-profile death of African-American Freddie Gray. A hung jury made a verdict impossible. Demonstrators fear that this could set a precedent for the trials of the other five officers accused in the case. Gray's family appealed to city residents to remain calm, while the family lawyer pledged to seek a new trial for Porter. Bianca Perez reports from Washington. teleSUR
