Today, 19 days after police tossed freddie gray in the back of that police van, the Baltimore City states attorney shocked the citizens of this city say she has found probable cause to charge Six Police Officers in the death of 25yearold freddie gray saying his arrest was illegal, and his death was a homicide.
