Baltimore Cop in Freddie Gray Case 'Elated' Over Dropped Charges

One of the Baltimore police officers acquitted in the death of Freddie Gray said he was “elated” Wednesday to hear that prosecutors have dropped the remaining charges against his colleagues.

Officer Edward Nero, who was found not guilty of assault and other charges in May, told TIME he was relieved that the high-profile case has come to a close without a conviction. “I feel very good. Words can’t describe it. We’re very elated,” said Nero, 30.
