Judge Williams is expected to render a verdict in the murder trial of Baltimore Officer Caesar Goodson, one of six officers charged in Freddie Gray's death on April 19, 2015. Goodson faces one count of depraved heart murder, three counts of manslaughter and one count each of second degree assault, misconduct in office, and reckless endangerment.

Rice's trial is now scheduled to begin today following the decision on March 8 from the MD Court of Appeals. The state's highest court reversed Judge Williams's order disallowing the testimony of Officer Porter. Porter will now be compelled to testify against Rice. Edward Nero and Caesar Goodson's trials have already passed. Each waived a jury and each was acquitted by Judge Williams. Today, hearings will be conducted. Lt. Rice waives a jury today. Opening statements will be Thursday morning.

Blade runner Oscar Pistorius will learn his sentence today for the murder of his girlfriend, Reeve Steenkamp, on Feb. 14, 2013. An appellate court had thrown out the previous conviction for South Africa's version of what we call manslaughter and his 5-year sentence. The high court, instead, found him guilty of murder where he faces at least 15 years in prison. He served one year of the original five years. The judge, however, could find mitigating circumstances to justify a sentence less than 15 years.
