1.Grand jury indicts six Baltimore officers for Freddie Gray’s death
A grand jury has indicted six Baltimore police officers for the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who died after being injured while in police custody in April, State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby announcedThursday. The indictments were similar to the charges Mosby filed earlier this month. The driver of the police van in which Gray was injured faced the most serious charge, the equivalent of second-degree murder. Gray’s death touched off both peaceful protests and riots. The officers are free on bail and will be arraigned July 2.

About Dr. Rex

I'm originally from Puerto Rico. I was born in Santurce and raised in Rio Piedras. Have lived in Florida since 1999. I have a doctorate degree in Medicine; completed in 1976. My Internal Medicine specialty was completed in 1979. Worked for Puerto Rico's health system until 1985. At this time, I'm happily retired after working for the federal government for almost 28yrs. I want to offer any knowledge that I have to anyone "out there" who is interested. My views are liberal in almost every sense. My knowledge is "eclectic" - a bit of everything. Music and reading are my passion. Blogging has also become a very interesting endeavor. Metaphysical topics attract me. I'm interested in news reporting human issues like injustice, discrimination and abuse - the "wrongly" affected. My intention is to bring this knowledge to an understandable level and to help anyone in need. I'm open to questions and will answer them to the best of my ability. Currently working on an enterprise whose main mission will be to bring peoples of all walks of life together. To be one .... since we ALL are ONE!! The future looks bright and promising!!!
