the first trial in the death of freddie gray has ended with a hung jury. jurors said they could not determine whether baltimore police officer william porter was criminally responsible for gray's death. it's unclear if he'll be re-tried. a couple of dozen protesters are marching in downtown baltimore and these are live pictures outside the courthouse. the mayor and the naacp call for peaceful demonstrations and there are skirmishes that broke out and certainly nothing like what we saw back in april following gray's death and we'll keep an eye on this and bring you live updates throughout the evening. >>> whur's troy johnson is joining us here. what's at stake here for the baltimore police officers? >> there is an awful lot at stake because come believe the police were heavy handed back in april after the death of freddie gray when folks were beginning to protest and beginning to express themselves. others believe that police got caught flat footed, they weren't quite prepared for the response that they got so there was a mixed variety and other people are
