The Baltimore police officer driving the van when Freddie Gray was fatally injured was found not guilty on all charges.
Caesar Goodson opted for a bench trial presided over by Judge Barry Williams, rather than a trial by jury.
Gray, who was 25, suffered a spinal injury and died in April 2015, about a week after he was arrested and placed into a prisoner van that Goodson was driving. His death spurred protests that eventually turned violent, setting fire to Baltimore and thrusting the city into the national debate on police brutality.
