A disciplinary panel has found a Baltimore police
van driver not guilty on all administrative charges related to his
transportation of Freddie Gray, the black man whose death in custody
sparked riots in the city.
The three-member
board said Tuesday that Officer Caesar Goodson did not violate any
department policies the day Gray was fatally injured in police custody.
Goodson
smiled, appearing relieved, after the not-guilty verdicts on all 21
counts were read. His lawyers hugged each other and patted themselves on
the back with loud thumps.
Attorney Sean
Malone said outside the hearing room at the University of Baltimore that
the verdict is vindication for a hard-working and soft-spoken officer.
He also said that Goodson plans to keep working on the Baltimore police
force.
