The Baltimore prosecution team led by Marily Mosby have announced their intention to retry the case against William Porter on June 13th, 2016.  Oddly the trial against Caesar Goodson is still scheduled to begin on Jan 6th.

Baltimore six 2

(Via Baltimore Sun) Baltimore Police Officer William G. Porter will be retried in the death of Freddie Gray on June 13, according to court officials.

Porter’s first trial on charges of involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office ended last week with a hung jury on all four counts, leading Judge Barry G. Williams to declare a mistrial.

The court said Officer Caesar R. Goodson Jr. remains on schedule to go to trial on Jan. 6. Goodson faces the most serious charge — second-degree murder — of the six officers charged in Gray’s arrest and death.

The court did not say anything about the scheduled trials of the other four officers, all of whom are set to go to trial consecutively between January and March. (more)

The state has said in court that it considers Porter a “material witness” in its cases against Goodson and Sgt. Alicia White, who faces the same charges that Porter faces.
