Trump Admin Won't Charge Baltimore Officers over Freddie Gray's Death
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, the Department of Justice announced Tuesday
it will not bring federal charges against six Baltimore police officers
over their roles in killing Freddie Gray, an African-American man from
Baltimore who died after sustaining massive spinal injuries as he was
transported in the back of a police van in April 2015. Six Baltimore
police officers faced charges from the State's Attorney's Office related
to the death, but prosecutors dropped all remaining charges in July 2016
after failing to win convictions for any of the first four officers to
go on trial.
