Police unions makes a statement that the officers are not responsible. How can they make such an irresponsible statement when the process has not been hardly started?

The most serious charge, against the driver of the van, Officer Ceasar Goodson, is second-degree “depraved heart’’ murder, which involves a special degree of reckless indifference. But proving that charge beyond a reasonable doubt is a significant challenge, according to defense lawyers and former prosecutors.

They said it will also be difficult to persuade jurors to vote guilty on other serious charges against the officers, including manslaughter and assault.

The prosecutor needs to have all her ducks in a row on this one.
