Baltimore PD Releases Charged Cop Mugshots; Attorney Says Case Is "Politically Motivated"
• http://www.zerohedge.com, Tyler DurdenThe Baltimore PD released their mugshots, which reveal a rather broad racial mix: three white, two black, and one Hispanic, officer Caesar Goodson, who incidentally as the driver of the police van, is facing the most serious charge of second-degree murder. To repeat, not what one would call a racially homogeneous group.
As noted previously, here is the breakdown of the charges against the officers:
Officer Caesar Goodson Jr. was charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter, second-degree assault, two vehicular manslaughter charges and misconduct in office.
Officer William Porter, Lt. Brian Rice and Sgt. Alicia White were all charged with involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault and misconduct in office.
Officer Edward Nero was charged with second-degree assault and misconduct in office, and Officer Garrett Miller was charged with those charges plus false imprisonment.
Goodson, facing the most serious charges, could potentially be sentenced to as much as 63 years of prison. The others face a max sentence of between 20 and 30 years.
