Undisclosed, the killing of Freddie Gray episode 4 hope to share audio from the trials with you.

Legally, however, we're restricted. In Maryland, you can purchase audio CDs of public trials,

but you're not allowed to broadcast them. For the most part, we've worked around this by explaining

what we hear in the trials. There are some places where we feel it's important for you to know not

just what was said, but how it was said. To make that happen, we ask talented actors and voice

over artists to listen to the audio and recreate what they heard exactly, mimicking tone, cadence,

and attitude. They were given no other instruction. What you'll hear on this episode was recorded

by Alan Forbes and Sean Michael Booser, working with Elizabeth Forbes and Jim McAfry.

Also, our reminder to listeners that the research, analysis, and opinions of the investigators,

journalists, academics, and lawyers who you'll hear on this program about the circumstances

surrounding Freddie Gray's killing are just that. Research, analysis, and opinions.

We encourage listeners to reach their own conclusions and to vigorously debate our conclusions with us.

Enjoy the program.

The camera rotated 180 degrees between these two scenes about every minute or so, a jarring

contrast. That figure was Freddie Gray and having been arrested and detained a few minutes

earlier just to block away, he was now hauled out of the police van under the pretense of
