oooh shes goin down.

Nifong

If they dismiss the case that does not clear the officer. I say proceed and enter in the new evidence of prosecutor misconduct.

Attorney Michael Schatzow has referenced in alleging that Goodson gave Gray what's known as a "rough ride," or an intentionally turbulent transport.

Prosecutors, however, have not yet outlined their theory of the alleged rough ride in detail.

On cross examination, Boyd told Goodson's attorney Matthew Fraling that in his review of all of the surveillance video of the van, he saw no evidence of the van making an abrupt stop, start or turn.

So they have NO evidence of the so called "rough ride".

Prosecutors did not ask Boyd to describe the manner in which Goodson was driving the van.

On Tuesday, Goodson's attorney did.

Attorney Matthew Fraling asked Boyd whether he saw any evidence that Goodson made an abrupt stop, start or turn while Gray was in the van.

"No, sir," Boyd said.

The testimony stood out in a case that has so far touched little on the prosecution's theory that Goodson gave Gray what's known as a "rough ride" in the van last April.



Goodson is charged with second-degree depraved-heart murder in Gray's death. In his opening statement last week, Chief Deputy State's Attorney Michael Schatzow told Circuit Judge Barry G. Williams that Gray was "injured because he got a 'rough ride'" and "because of the way the officer transported him."

During the trial, prosecutors have introduced a video of Goodson rolling through a stop sign making a wide right turn.


But over four days of testimony from 19 witnesses, prosecutors have presented little other evidence to support the theory.

On Tuesday afternoon, Williams allowed the defense to call two witnesses, both medical experts who questioned the autopsy finding that Gray's death was a homicide.


Even under the prosecution's understanding of the facts, Arden said, he did not believe Gray was injured until the final leg of the van transport — after Goodson and other officers had checked on him multiple times.

Arden said Gray's injuries would have caused immediate paralysis to his lower extremities and "at best" significant impairment to his higher extremities.

Gray would have had a "very difficult time breathing, much less talking," he said.

Prosecutors have alleged Goodson was negligent and careless in not providing medical assistance at the earlier stops. But Arden testified that such attention would not have helped Gray because Gray was not injured at those stops.

The defense also called Dr. Joel Winer, a neurosurgery expert who testified that Gray's injury "isn't something that occurs through evolution," but would have been immediate — leaving Gray "floppy like a dish rag or a jellyfish" and unable to sit up, as Porter has testified he did at the fourth and fifth stops.

Is this the official Freddie Gray thread for now?

They don't have one.
