The fix is in!  :(

Baltimore judge denies request for a change of venue for the trials of six police officers charged in Freddie Gray's death

Quote
A Baltimore judge on Thursday denied a request for a change of venue for the trials of six police officers charged in the death of a black man who died from an injury in police custody.

The death of Freddie Gray Jr. in April triggered protests, including a day of rioting and fueled a U.S. debate on police treatment of minorities.

Defense lawyers for the officers had argued before Circuit Court Judge Barry Williams that intense publicity made it impossible to hold a fair trial in Baltimore.

'The citizens of Baltimore are not monolithic,' Williams told a packed courtroom. 'They think for themselves.'

I see a mistrial or definite appeal in the cases future. This and the settlement with the family almost guarantees that.

My thoughts exactly! This just opened the door for a mistrial!
The settlement is as if the Officers are guilty and every thug will think this.
If they are exonerated will the thugs family have to pay it back?

That dumb bitch they call a mayor claimed that the payoff would help prevent rioting, she doesn't know her own people very well.

Not to mention the Baltimore DA, you racist.
And you're not the only racist.
Anyone who doesn't know that...

Probably because of my white privilege, I don't understand why.
And I don't even have any white privilege because I am black, in protest of the current administration.
That is all...for now.

Yup... This judge is an idiot.  He knows this should be moved.
