A Baltimore grand jury has charged all six police officers accused in the death of Freddie Gray.

A Baltimore grand jury has charged all six police officers accused in the death of Freddie Gray.

State Prosecutor Marilyn Mosby announced the revised charges on Thursday, but the most serious charges - including second-degree murder - remained.

Gray suffered a severe spinal cord injury in police custody in April and died a week later.

His death sparked weeks of protests and later riots and looting in Baltimore.
"As is often the case, during an ongoing investigation, charges can and should be revised based upon the evidence," Mosby said, according to the BBC.

The grand jury did not return charges on the false imprisonment charges that were brought against some of the officers.

Mosby brought the false imprisonment charges earlier claiming that Gray's arrest was unjustified and illegal.

However, the grand jury did return new reckless endangerment charges that were not part of the original charges announced three weeks ago.

Mosby has said that Gray's neck was broken while he was being handcuffed and placed into a police van. She also said that police repeatedly ignored his pleas for medical attention.

The officers are scheduled to appear in court on July 2.

A lawyer for the six Baltimore police officers said they "did nothing wrong", after criminal charges were announced by Mosby earlier this month.

Lawyer Michael Davey said the officers "at all times acted reasonably and in accordance with their training" and accused Mosby of an "egregious rush to judgment".

"As all of the facts surrounding this case come out in the appropriate form, the officers' lack of wrongdoing will be made abundantly clear."
