we said character witnesses the final one was officer william porter's own mother. helena. she got up on the stand to say her son is a good guy and that he is known as a peace-maker. outside of court, she expect want to talk to us, didn't want her face to be shown either. but veteran defense attorneys who have been watching the trial say that mother has reason to smile about how the case is going on. >> i don't see where the state has convinced anyone beyond a reasonable doubt that not belting anymore when it wasn't his responsibility is reflected callous with regard for the life of freddie gray. brad: so when we come back at 5:00, we will tell you more about the details of the case. more about the question of what happens next and what happens in the city once the

verdict is rendered. that is coming up at 5:00, in baltimore, brad bell, abc7 news. jonathan: thank you. court watchers already have the verdicts established. they watch and weigh the testimony. joining us is cofounder of schaefer and trotter. you have been watching the case. this is no slam dunk. >> it's not. it's a heart-breaking case. the prosecution has a tough job. there is a lot of evidence but it may not go for a full conviction on all hour counts. he may be acquitted or the jury may decide to go for one of the lesser included offenses. jonathan: what have you seen so far to lean toward the smoking gun of getting this officer off as opposed to sending him away? >> they are saying there were two things he did wrong. he didn't buckle freddie gray up and he didn't call for medical attention. yet, there are so many facts we don't know about what occurred in the van, that

leaves a real question in the jury's mind. jonathan: this was the video introduced in court. you can see they are not throwing them around. they are gingerly taking him along and putting him in the back. they didn't throw him in the back of the van. the officer said why didn't you take him to the hospital when he was requested to go to the hospital? his response is he asked to go in the previous arrests to avoid going to jail. did it weight in the mind of jurors? might they say this is crying wolf? >> certainly. we had testimony yesterday about the former veteran of the baltimore police department now the chief of police in virginia and said it was reasonable what the officer did in the circumstance. not to buckle him or call for medical assistance at this point. jonathan: so this is the first of many officer goes on trial. after this, is it fair to say that it will be even that much more difficult to find an impartial difficult? >> i don't think so. there is a discussion of that because of the riots and the things that happened, would

they find a fair jury in the community but they did. so the fact they have had the first case to give the tactics and the evidence if for other five officers in their case. so it works to the benefit to have the case in the order they are prosecuted. jonathan: thank you for your time. some of you might have just heard about the defense resting in this case by the abc7 text alert. we want all of you to be the first to know when breaking news happens even when we are off the air and you are not in front of your tv. for updates on the freddie gray case or breaking news, subscribe to the breaking news text alert at wjla.com/text. alison? alison: thank you. moving on to other news of the day now. this was a startling find. a man found dead in an upscale d.c. hotel room. but how he died is still a mystery. this is more than a month later. but with ties to the kremlin
