"David Gray, a law professor at the University of Maryland, said charging the driver with the most serious offense suggests Ms. Mosby is taking aim at the “rough ride,” in which police take suspects on a turbulent ride in the back of police wagons while they are handcuffed and unable to support themselves. Ms. Mosby made no mention of rough rides in her statement."

From NYTimes, ""Ms. Mosby did not allege that the van driver, Officer Caesar R. Goodson, Jr., intentionally gave Mr. Gray a “rough ride,” to slam him against the metal walls of the van. But Officer Goodson was charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter, assault and misconduct in office."

I'm not taking any sides but this is turning into a media circus, IMHO.
