Freddie Gray case: Maryland high court says Officer Porter must testify against all 5 co-defendants | 08 March 2016 | Maryland's highest court ruled Tuesday that Officer William Porter must testify against all five fellow officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray, and sent the cases back to the lower court for trial. The Court of Appeals turned back Porter's request that he not be compelled to testify against Officer Caesar Goodson and Sgt. Alicia White. They also reversed Circuit Court Judge Barry Williams's order denying prosecutors' request to call Porter to testify against three other officers, Edward Nero, Garrett Miller and Lt. Brian Rice. It was a huge victory for the state, which argued that Porter's Fifth Amendment rights would not be violated by granting him immunity.
