    Do you know what the jury was made up of?

    I haven't seen or read anything on it

    I'm sorry, P, I don't know anything, either. What I do know is that many legal minds had a real problem believing any of the charges would stick. That I do know.

    I read that the accused officer chose to forgo a jury trial, so this ruling was by the judge.

    This was not a shock. We all fully expected he would get off. He was not the arresting officer and he had not received the training for the new procedures (securing perps in the van) it was dumb that he was charged in the first place.

    There are only about a dozen protesters at city hall. Although the reporters got their "outrage" sound bytes for the news tonight, things are pretty calm here now.

    Perhaps no one found Baltimore police Officer Edward Nero's not-guilty verdict Monday so surprising.

    But to hear the families of Nero and of Freddie Gray, the young black man who Nero was accused of assaulting, both lauding the judge who handed down the decision? Surely no one saw that coming.

    While Nero released a statement saying he and his family were "elated" with the ruling, Gray family attorney Billy Murphy, too, applauded the decision, saying, "You can't convict people unless you know the evidence," and that Judge Barry Williams had followed the law as he saw it.

    I heard the trial judge is black.
    When your praise match your prayers, the answer will come.

    Ah. Thus the reason even Freddy Gray's lawyer has to 'agree' with the ruling. Kinda hard to cry about a 'racist' decision when the judge is black.
