Tara Huffman, director of OSI-Baltimore’s Criminal and Juvenile Justice program, joined WYPR’s Midday show to discuss the decision by State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby to drop charges against three police officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray.
“Holding these officers accountable, bringing the charges, and pursuing justice in this frame was just one component of what is and will continue to be a longer fight for justice and equity in Baltimore City,” said Huffman, who was joined on the show by Ray Kelly of OSI grantee the No Boundaries Coalition. “Broader reforms in the city are needed to make sure that we achieve justice and equity for everyone.”
