Sgt. Thomas Allers, a fifth officer charged in the Gun Trace Task Force corruption case, is going to plead guilty

Officer William G. Porter has asked the Court of Special Appeals in Annapolis to step in and block a lower court ruling in Baltimore that he must testify for the state in the coming trial of his fellow officer in the death of Freddie Gray.

Joe Murtha and Gary Proctor don't usually practice together, but they teamed up to defend Baltimore Police Officer William Porter in a case that has focused national attention on police issues in Baltimore after Freddie Gray's death.

The trial of William G. Porter, one of six Baltimore police officers charged in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray, is poised to begin Wednesday after a 12-person jury of city residents is seated, according to court officials.
