Prosecutors Deny Officers Indicted In Freddie Gray Case Gave Statements Under Duress


Prosecutors are responding to claims by the defense in the Freddie Gray case that the officers charged in Gray's death gave statements because they were afraid they would lose their jobs.
City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby's office argues that those statements were given voluntarily and that there was no threat of job loss.
Lawyers for five of the six officers charged in gray's death filed a motion arguing that their statements given to investigators should be thrown out, because they were illegally obtained.
The defense says those statements were not voluntary and were given under duress because the officers thought their jobs were in jeopardy.
