Gray was arrested for possession of a switchblade, before falling into a coma due to an injury sustained while in police custody. His death on April 19 has led to charges against six Baltimore PD officers, including one charge of second-degree murder.
"The knife was not a switchblade, and it is lawful," Mosby said at Friday's press conference, according to The New York Times. The prosecutor said officers "failed to establish probable cause for an arrest."
