Wow, the article I read didn't say how many would be charged, only that charges were being filed. Three of the six officers were on bicycle patrol, so if they're being charged it means there's some kind of proof that the deadly injury happened at the site of the arrest.
In that case, I'd think it'd be hard to convince a jury that all the officers are responsible for a guy dying a week after the arrest. Especially if there was any surgery performed during the week-long hospital stay.

But from what I've read, he couldn't see Gray. Apparently these cages are closed to where suspects can't see each other. So how can he tell it was Gray doing it himself, versus Gray being attacked by someone?
