Jury selection begins today in the first of six trials of Baltimore police officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old black man who died in April after being arrested and suffering a serious injury while in police custody.
The six officers are all being tried separately. Baltimore Police Commissioner Kevin Davis has said that with these trials, “everything is at stake. The future of the city is at stake.”
Here & Now‘s Jeremy Hobson speaks with David Jaros, a professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law, about the case and what’s at stake for Baltimore.
