The trial is set
for Maryland's Circuit Court for Baltimore City, the spokeswoman
for State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby said.
The officers have been charged in the April death of Freddie
Gray, 25, who allegedly died from a spinal injury suffered in
police custody. Widespread protests in the predominantly black
city after Gray's death turned into a day of rioting, and
National Guard troops were deployed to restore order.
Charges for the six range from second-degree murder and assault
to false imprisonment and misconduct in office. Arraignment had
been slated for July 2 but an administrative judge canceled the
hearing when the suspects entered not-guilty pleas and requested
a jury trial, the Baltimore Sun reported.
Three of the officers are black and three are white.
