According to an April 30, 2015
article by the Washington Post, "Freddie Gray did not have a preexisting
spinal injury."
Jason Downs, an
attorney representing one of Gray’s relatives, told reporters “We have no
information or evidence at this point to indicate that there is a prior
preexisting spinal injury.” Downs added, “It’s a rumor.”
Gray allegedly died after an April
12, 2015 arrest where he was restrained in flexi-cuffs and leg shackles and
placed inside a Baltimore Police Department wagon. Contrary to Baltimore Police
policy, he was not seat belted in a seat but placed face down on the van floor.
Reports to the press from Baltimore Police said that during the ride Gray was
allegedly "'banging against the walls' of the van," as an attempt to
intentionally injure himself. This according to a
time line posted by NPR.
In a related rumor, the iRumorMill.com
crew reported on the criminal past of Freddie Gray.
