i think there are real parallels between what happened to rodney king and what happened to freddie gray. what happened to rodney king in los angeles and what happened to freddie gray here in baltimore, maryland. as with rodney king, there are extenuating circumstances, and murky facts that make an acquittal of the officers involved, i think, at least a 50/50 proposition, an. being generous to the state's case. i think the case, her announcement was as much political as it was legal. now i appreciated that she announced the arrests, why? because it led to peace here in baltimore, but i also, as that's just as a citizen. but as a lawyer i can tell you these charges really are made, not fancifully, because i know how sincerely they intend to prosecute these officers, but because of the reasons that i've laid out for you, it is likely the cops in the state case will be acquitted. why not do the federal, civil rights action right here in baltimore, maryland first? in other words, give the department of justice the first crack at the offending officers. i don't think anybody watching this pro
