shape, certainly continue toonto watch the radar, flash floodrads watches and even some tornadoeor watches up through westou w virginia and west centralt c virginia and it's awfullyfu humid. humi a quick shot of a shower laterat tonight as a cold front comesrom on through.hr we'll talk more about tonighton as well as what you can expectxc on friday coming up in just aust few minutes but right now soow far so good. far no second round anticipated atta this point.isoi back to you.back t >> good news. >> now to the verdict inow baltimore. a baltimore judge t found officer caesar goodson notcaes o guilty on all charges in the in death investigation of freddie gray. gray. >> goodson drove that van thatro transported gray when gray whegy suffered injuries to his spine s that ultimately led to his death. so far three of the six the s officers involved in thers invot freddie gray case have gone to trial and so far not one has has been found guilty we begin oureo team coverage tonight withh alexandria limon live in baltimore. alex. alex. >> reporter:. >> reporter: guys, the bigte question now becomes whatow becw happens with the cases againstst the remaining baltimore policerc

supposed to be the strongest son case that the state hadad against any of these officers.fr officer caesar goodson was the driver of the police van thatf freddie gray was injured inn and he was facing the most serious charges of all the officers and not only did the dt judge find him not guilty onn all counts, in fact, at one point he went as far as saying n that the state failed on all o levels to meet the burden of proof in the murder charges.deae so, again, officer goodson acquitted on all of the th charges and i was inside thate t courtroom when judge barryjudgey williams went down the list oft charges including that serious o second degree murder chargee and three manslaughterr charges, millions conduct in m office and recklessil endangerment and each time heh said the state did not present t enough evidence to meet that burden of proof. of the judge said prosecutors had to prove a reckless disregards for human life and

wasn't about simply whethery whe goodson failed to do somethingdi or whether he made a mistake. for example, when for examplele what he, used was that goodsont failed to use a seat belt for f freddie gray.y. he said that wasn't enough for w a conviction on any of thesese charges.ar the burden of proof was above ao and beyond that.ha in fact, prosecutors needed to prove that goodson didn't use dt a seat belt because he had the t intention of hurting or evenven killing freddie gray and the judge concluded that was notas proved in court.ed now, as far as the rough ride theory, it was presented by the state and that was a big b parter of their case. cas the judge said that the state ts couldn't even properly define what a rough ride was, never, n mind actually prove that it that happened and that goodson intentionally gave freddieioy gray a rough ride. r he said the state provided nod o proof that there was ever any kind of animosity between gray and goodson that would have wld provoked the officer intoicernt

another big point the judge t j made throughout the entire explanation of his decisionecio and verdict was that goodson tho would have had no reasonable ree way of knowing freddie gray'sra injuries and the extent of o that medical attention that he needed because they were they we internal injuries.in now here is some reaction thatet we got from members of the of community following this verdict. verdic >> one has to wonder about thehe credibility of the case and i think - -- [inaudible] [indibl >> testify about their t esinvolvement.volv now, this is allegedly their strongest case and as you can see they fell flat on their face. face whether they continue i'm not sure. c >> i believe that the state'sta attorney's office did a bold dia thing to charge all the officers. officers. people in the ci

understand that this is making history and that it's on the ite front page of every paper, pap fair that your in the media.t they have to reform the yoway w they behave. >> i'm not surprised, youu know. hopeless, saddened, you know.edk but not surprised.urised >> we'll see this again.his a this is same old story, you, yo know. know. and if it's two days from now,s, two weeks from now, two years, y from now, every one of us will u be right back out here for another one.an >> reporter: now, that lasthat s person we spoke to was a baltimore resident and yound could kind of hear that hear frustration in his voice but vot he said although he was angry a he really wasn't surprised andus i'll tell you that was kind off the same sentiment thatha resonated with a lot of people that were out here outside of oo the courtroom after this verdict
