The first officer to go to trial ended with a hung jury. Sounds like a really good chance that this cop will be found not guilty.
Appeared the charges were more about politics then finding a real crime - at least based on the evidence i am aware of.

Judge Questions If Crime Was Committed in Freddie Gray Officer Case - ABC News
The judge in the case of one of the officers who arrested Freddie Gray grilled prosecutors during closing arguments Thursday -- questioning whether a crime was in fact committed.“So, every time there’s an arrest without probable justification – it is a crime?” Baltimore JudgeBarry Williams asked incredulously. “I’m trying to make sure it was a criminal assault. Touching Freddie Gray is assault?”
“I can’t believe I even have to argue this,” he said. “The detention is OK, the cuffing is OK, the moving is OK,” he said. “Being detained is a horrible thing, being cuffed is a horrible thing…but the law allows it.”
