In new filing yesterday, Goodson asked judge to allow prosecutor's closing argument in Nero trial to be admitted as evidence in his trial.

Specifically, Goodson wants Schatzow's comments about Nero, other officers having custody of Gray to be admitted:


-----------------------------------

Def 8th witness: Det. Patty Bauer, gave in-service training re fleet safety to Goodson in 2013. Says did not incl seat belting passengers.

Prosecutor Bledsoe on cross: Isn't it "fair to say that it's just COMMON SENSE" to seat belt passengers?? Defense objected, judge sustained.

Judge Williams just struck ALL of Bauer's testimony, after she acknowledged that she wasn't sure she was the one who taught Goodson.
-----------------------------------

Officer Nero, acquitted last month, has indeed taken the stand as a defense witness in Officer Goodson's trial.

Defense questions very limited. They basically had Nero testify that Gray was being combative, banging in van at second stop. That's it.

In turn, prosecution had very limited cross. Nero is already off the stand.

Judge Williams denies the Goodson defense motion to bring in statements made by prosecutor Schatzow in closing of Nero's trial.
-----------------------------------

11:14AM
BREAKING: Officer Goodson elects not to testify in his own 2nd-degree murder trial in #FreddieGray case. The defense has rested its case.

Closing arguments will be at 10 am Monday.

The Safari park savages have SEEN that these trials contain little or no evidence to prove charges.

These dopes don't care about the truth.. they want "A Lynchin'"

Sorry but what kind of bullshit is that? Really? If Judge Williams is going over the evidence with due diligence how can he know that it is going to take him 3 more days to render a verdict?

Two things come to mind 1) Williams hand is being forced into some kind of guilty plea or 2) William's is going to render a not guilty verdict and the city is getting ready for the Sons of Obama to riot.

I think it is latter, Carm. Preparing for the worst. And I will be pleased with as many days as it takes, if it is an acquittal.

Ditto that

Tritto that

I think it's the latter as well. I also believe most people will realize an acquittal in this case dooms all the other cases so riots are far more possible this time around.

Hi ALL ~

After some thought, this case is really not as simple as I first speculated regarding the outcome of acquittal on all charges.

Goodson is the most charged officer.

CHARGES
Second-degree depraved heart murder
Involuntary manslaughter
Second-degree negligent assault
Manslaughter by vehicle and gross negligence
Manslaughter by vehicle criminal negligence
Misconduct in office for failure to perform a duty regarding the safety of a prisoner
Reckless endangerment

Here's the chart showing a comparison of his charges versus Porter and Nero:
viewtopic.php?f=124&t=1398#p110476

I think the murder and manslaughter charges will be "not guilty," based on the (lack of) evidence presented at trial. Plus there is the ME that lied as to the manner of death. Even if it wasn't proven in trial testimony, the judge heard what the lead detective had to say.

I keep thinking about the Nero trial when the Judge said no matter what the decision is, one of the parties will appeal. If Goodson is found guilty of the "negligent assault" and/or "reckless endangerment" = appeal. BUT if he is acquitted on ALL charges, with the prosecution misconduct brought to light & Donta Allen's piss-poor testimony for the State, MAYBE this will force Mosby to drop charges on the remaining officers.

The only real charge I see as a possibility is "reckless endangerment" but you had the "rough ride" (Franklin) expert's befuddled testimony in that regard. So the "misconduct in office" charge is the last ONLY possibility.

So I'm back to my earlier thoughts of "acquittal on all charges".

I'll just leave these here...

THX for the links, Sue.

With any luck (weight of evidence) Goodson will get acquitted in a few hours.. the rest of the farce will unravel.

Then Mosby et al are on track to suffer the consequences of malicious prosecution.l

Officer Miller arriving at trial. @jlepolastewart has some good gifs to her tweets, but I can't save gifs from Twitter.



Ofc. Goodson just arrived in a long motorcade of cars.

@jlepolastewart Demonstrators gather outside courthouse east waiting to hear verdict in #GoodsonTrial.

She says the guy on the right has been standing at the courthouse every day of the trial.

@jlepolastewart #GoodsonTrial FOP drops Goodson at court

Many more sheriff's personnel present when Goodson was dropped off.

Not many Feral protards... and it is a bit early in the day for a stampede.
