<strong>William Porter</strong> was the first of the six officers to face a trial. It <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2015%2F12%2F16%2Fus%2Fbaltimore-police-trial-freddie-gray%2F" target="_blank">ended in a mistrial</a> in December, and he had been scheduled to be retried before prosecutors dropped the charges against him. Porter was summoned by the van's driver to check on Gray during stops on the way to a police station. Prosecutors said Porter should have called a medic for Gray sooner than one was eventually called, and they said he also should have ensured that Gray was wearing a seat belt. Porter had been charged with involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office.
