A few months ago, I received discovery evidence in the death of Freddie Gray that has never been released and that should change the media narrative. After 3 years of investigating this case with @xoamelia, I was yet shocked. Here’s what it revealed... 1/ https://theappeal.org/freddie-gray-five-years-later/
During 2017, in @undisclosedpod, we interviewed 3 witnesses who saw Gray thrown headfirst into the van at stop 2, never part of what BPD or SAO said happened. Now we know that both depts heard this from many witnesses beginning that afternoon. 2/ https://theappeal.org/freddie-gray-five-years-later/
You know some names - Kevin Moore, Brandon Ross, Kiona Craddock, Jamel Baker, Tobias Sellers - and others all told investigators from BPD and SAO that they saw Gray thrown “face down” and “head first” and that he also became suddenly silent at that stop. https://theappeal.org/freddie-gray-five-years-later/
The evidence points to a coordinated evidence by BOTH police and prosecutors to suppress this evidence from the public. We also obtained statements from the police interviews. The stories told day 1 were NOT what they said in court, esp about stop 2. https://theappeal.org/freddie-gray-five-years-later/
Why did 11 witnesses to traumatic force at stop 2 not become part of the Freddie Gray canon? It has to do with what happened during stop 1 and the attention it received, as reported. Thank you to @theappeal for its bravery in helping us tell this story. https://theappeal.org/freddie-gray-five-years-later/
Gray’s fatal injury was described by the ME as what happens only in “shallow water diving incidents.” From day 1, both BPD and SAO had heard Gray was thrown head first into the van. They had seen video of Gray suddenly silent and motionless afterwards. https://theappeal.org/freddie-gray-five-years-later/
My last thought is a special Rest In Peace to the extraordinary Jacqueline Jackson, who understood that what she saw at stop 2 was extraordinary, tried to tell media, and remembered in crucially important detail. https://theappeal.org/freddie-gray-five-years-later/
