Baltimore: Setback in Trial of 3rd Officer Charged in Freddie Gray Death
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This comes as Baltimore prosecutors have been dealt a blow in the next
trial of a police officer charged in the death of Freddie Gray, who died
of spinal injuries sustained in police custody last year. On Tuesday, a
judge ruled prosecutors cannot introduce evidence related to officer
Brian Rice's training during his trial, which begins Thursday. His
training was key to the prosecutors' case. Two police officers have
already been acquitted on all charges for their role in Freddie Gray's
death.
