A Baltimore judge has scheduled the first trial in the Freddie Gray case for Nov. 30 and the other trials are set for early next year.
Here are the dates for the Freddie Gray trials:
Officer Wm. Porter set for Nov. 30
Officer Caesar Goodson Jan.6
Sgt. Alicia White Jan. 25
Officer. Garrett Miller's trial is set for Feb. 9
Officer Ed Nero trial set for Feb. 22
Lt. Brian Rice March 9
Officer William Porter will go on trial first. He is accused of failing to provide or request medical care for Gray and not securing him safely in a van. Gray was a black man who died after being injured in custody. His death led to protests, rioting and a curfew after people became angry over the police treatment of Gray.
Porter is charged with manslaughter, assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office.
Prosecutors said they intend to call Porter as a witness against at least two other officers.
Porter's request for a delay came from defense; Rest of the delays came at request of State, over defense objections.
Prosecutors said they intend to call Porter as a witness against at least two other officers.
Five of six Baltimore police officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray were at the court hearing about the case.
Officer William Porter was the only one who didn't attend the hearing Tuesday. Prosecutors have told the judge in a letter that they would like to try Porter first, and intend to call him as a witness against at least two other officers.
