Freddie Gray"a fourth, previously undisclosed stop by the police"

Local television station WJLA said the medical examiner saw no evidence that Gray suffered the fatal injury during his arrest, pointing instead to the injury happening during his ride in the police van, multiple law enforcement sources told the ABC affiliate.

The medical examiner found that Gray appeared to break his neck when his head slammed into the back of the van, the sources told WJLA. He also suffered a head wound matching a bolt jutting from the vehicle's back door.

The WJLA report said it was still unclear what caused Gray to bang his head. He was not wearing restraints during the ride, a violation of department policies.

Police offered a fresh wrinkle to Gray's case on Thursday, saying officials learned of a fourth, previously undisclosed stop by the police van en route to the station house after viewing footage from a private camera. It was not immediately known what the footage revealed about Gray's injury.

Yet, so many conflicting stories, speculation...I too am a bit impatient yet we just have to wait unfortunately for the formal reports. I detest this cat and mouse game.

They will stall and stall and in the end there will be no charges.

He is the young man shot/killed inside Walmart with a toy gun. Immediately turned case over to Attorney General Mike Dewine(R). Then got many conflicting stories....No charges!

So, They, the GOP NRA cops, they have a workable pattern.....

I see no charges in this case either.

This is the way to get to the bottom of things. But we aren't really interested in the real story but one that these killer cops can walk away from. I am so sad and sorry for young black people in this country.
