BALTIMORE (Associated Press) — Baltimore's top prosecutor announced criminal charges Friday against all six officers suspended after a man suffered a fatal spinal injury in police custody, saying "no one is above the law."
"Mr. Gray's death was a homicide," State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby declared. His arrest was illegal and his treatment in custody amounted to murder and manslaughter, she said.
Freddie Gray being arrested
The announcement came after nearly two weeks of growing anger over Freddie Gray's death, and only hours after Mosby received the results of the internal police investigation and an official autopsy report. As Mosby spoke, the city was bracing for huge crowds in two more waves of protests Friday and Saturday.
Mosby announced the stiffest charge -- second-degree "depraved heart" murder -- against the driver of the police van. Other officers face charges of involuntary manslaughter, assault and illegal arrest.
The officers failed to get medical help even though Gray requested it repeatedly after he was chased down and pinned to a sidewalk on April 12 and hoisted into the van. At some point while he was in custody, he suffered a mysterious spinal injury and died a week later.
Mosby said the switchblade officers accused Gray of illegally carrying clipped inside his pants pocket was in fact a legal knife, and no justification for his arrest, which she said was illegal.
Mosby said she comes from five generations of police officers, and that the charges against these six officers should in no way damage the relationship between police and prosecutors in Baltimore.
She swiftly rejected a request from the Baltimore police officers union asking her to appoint a special independent prosecutor because of her ties to attorney Billy Murphy, who is representing Gray's family. Murphy was among Mosby's biggest campaign contributors last year, donating the maximum individual amount allowed, $4,000, in June. Murphy also served on Mosby's transition team after the election.
Fraternal Order of Police local president Gene Ryan told Mosby in a letter before the charges were announced Friday that none of the six suspended officers were responsible for Gray's death.
The state medical examiner's office said it sent the autopsy report to prosecutors Friday morning. Spokesman Bruce Goldfarb says the Office of the Chief State Medical Examiner will not release the report publicly while the case is under investigation.

Celebrated for her world renowned adult acting chops, Pinky recently visited VladTV for an exclusive interview, and this section details her thoughts on how race is such a big factor in her profession.
The industry may present a veneer of open love, but Pinky contends, "That free love is for the fans to forget the business and think that it's all fantasy. That free love is for the artist to forget how much the companies are making off them -and they're not even charging enough - and they're just getting what they're getting for a scene."
As the dialogue delves into the topic of interracial scenes, she speaks on why there's a larger market for scenes depicting black men hooking up with white women, as opposed to white men with black women. Pinky frankly says, "I believe more white men have a fantasy; it's more of a fetish and fantasy to see a white woman get d**ked down by some mandingo African."

Back in the Hot Boys days everyone in Cash Money used to be seen rocking blue bandannas. Then, gradually Lil Wayne began to rap about his Blood affiliations and every member of the crew would be seen sporting red. Turk, however, says the Hot Boys and Cash Money never had ties to gangs while he was there, and instead wore certain bandannas just to coordinate with their clothes.
"We roll in cliques, but as far as gang banging colors and things of that nature and having structured organizations, there wasn't none of that -- I used to put bandannas on for a belt," says Turk, who prides himself on being "neutral." As far as any gang affiliation after Turk left Cash Money, he can't speak on it; he just knows that he personally is not gang affiliated and never has been. "I can't speak on something I don't know," states the 34-year-old, referring to the remaining members.
Watch the clip to see Turk speak on the younger adults back home repping gangs now and more on Cash Money's gang ties below.

Jack Thriller said a lot and then some in this exclusive clip about his upcoming fight with rapper 40 Glocc. From calling him a b*tch to offending his family, Thriller is ready for his chance to win $1 million and feels there will be no contest since he "whoops n*ggas with two eyes a*s at least once a month for free."
The first-ever televised Hip-Hop celebrity fight will see the two go head to head for the grand prize, and seems to be drawing a massive amount of attention. According to Jack Thriller, Shaquille O'Neal, Papoose, and Deebo are in talks of refereeing the event. If you were to make a $1,000 pledge you can even get front-row VIP seats, including drinks and pictures with the two fighters, and according to Jack Thriller, The Game will be right alongside him the entire time. "I'm getting the Game to come down to the ring with me and whatnot," Jack claims. Celebrity Boxing promoter Damon Feldman, who "put the opportunity out there" for the Game to fight 40, says the Cali rapper didn't make the deadline, despite talks that he was interested.
During the three, two-minute rounds, Jack plans on breaking 40 Glocc "open like some crab legs," and even invites 40's gang affiliates to come through and battle it out with his crew. "I used to be in Boy Scouts," states Jack. "We got badges for days." Watch on as Jack Thriller smack talks 40 Glocc during the entire 14-minute clip, and how he's been training by getting lap dances and popping bottles at Sue's Rendezvous above.
