ByJulietLinderman and David Dishneau The Associated Press BALTIMORE A Baltimore judge on Wednesday re- fused to dismiss charges against six police officers in connection with the death of a black man who had been seriously injured while in custody. The judge also refused to remove the prosecutor in the case that sparked riots in Baltimore last spring. During a pretrial hear- ing, Circuit Court Judge Barry Williams denied a defense motion for the charges to be dropped against the officers in the death of 25-year-old Fred- die Gray, who endured a severe spinal cord injury while in police custody on April 12 and died a week later. Gray's death sparked protests, rioting and unrest that lasted for days. Defense attorneys had sought to drop the charges — which range from sec- ond-degree assault to sec- ond-degree murder — be- cause of prosecutorial misconduct on the part of State's Attorney Mari- lyn Mosby. Williams, how- ever, said that while Mos- by's public comments re- garding initial statements made by the officers to in- vestigators were "trou- bling," they are not likely to prejudice a jury. Andrew Graham, an at- torney representing Officer Caesar Goodson, had un- successfully argued that Mosby's comments after filing charges against the officers were "reckless and unprofessional," and vio- lated the rules of conduct. He likened Mosby's com- ments on the case to a "pep rally calling for payback." Williams also ruled against another defense motion, one that sought to have Mosby removed from the case due to what the defense contended were conflicts of interest. He called the assertion that Mosby's judgment was impacted by the fact that her husband Nick Mosby is a councilman in a district that experienced a disproportionate amount of violence "troubling and condescending." "Being married to a councilman is not a rea- son for recusal," he said. Williams will hear argu- ments about whether the officers should be tried together or separately when court resumes later Wednesday. All the officers face second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in of- fice charges. Rice, Porter and White also face man- slaughter charges, and Goodson faces an addi- tional charge of second- degree murder.

Judgerefusesto drop charges against Baltimore police By Sadie Gurman The Associated Press DENVER More than a month before James Holmes' rampage on a Col- orado movie theater, the head of his neuroscience graduate program called a campus police officer with alarming information: Holmes had told his psy- chiatrist that he wanted to kill people to make up for his failure in science. The call, never previously disclosed, came just after the psychiatrist expressed similar concerns to the same University of Colorado police officer in June 2012, when Holmes abruptly ended his academic career after repeatedly sharing his homicidal urges. But newly released docu- ments show the officer did little other than check to see whether Holmes had a criminal record and deac- tivate his campus access cards. And his psychiatrist declined to detain Holmes, who had revealed no spe- cific targets or threats, be- cause she thought it would only "inflame him." The documents obtained by The Associated Press provide new details about the best chance authorities had to stop Holmes before the July 2012 theater mas- sacre. They also show how hard it can be to predict who will turn violent, even when they've displayed warning signs, experts say. "There's no reliable way we can identify those few who will pick up a gun and start shooting people from the vast number who might seem odd or unusual or even scary," said James Alan Fox, a Northeastern University criminologist who has stud- ied and written about mass killings. "You can't predict it. Did they do everything they could have? That's an- other question." A federal lawsuit filed by the widow of one of Holmes' victims accuses university officials and Holmes' psychiatrist, Dr. Lynne Fenton, of not do- ing enough to stop the shooting. With the trial over, the lawsuit can pro- ceed. During the trial, Fen- ton testified that, without specific threats or targets, she lacked the evidence to have him placed on a 72- hour psychiatric hold. The university said in a statement that its faculty and staff acted responsi- bly. Campus police officer Lynn Whitten, who was not named in the lawsuit, has since retired. Her attorney, Tom Rice, said she did all that she could with the lim- ited information she had, none of which gave her rea- son to believe Holmes was an imminent danger. Holmes started seeing Fenton in 2012 to help with his social anxiety. He soon confided that he was hav- ing thoughts about killing people. His last visit was June 11, 2012. By then he had al- ready amassed an arsenal of weapons and body armor and was meticulously plan- ning his attack on a packed showing of a new Batman movie. But all Holmes told Fenton and another psy- chiatrist, Robert Feinstein, was that he had failed a key exam and was dropping out of the neuroscience pro- gram. Holmes "left in a huff," Fenton told Whitten, whom she called the same day. She was concerned be- cause Homes had told her "I want to kill as many people as possible," and she won- dered if he was nearing a psychotic break, according to the documents. Though he had "con- stant homicidal thoughts," Fenton told Whitten, he had never revealed specific targets or plans. But Whit- ten wrote in her notes that "Holmes indicated to Fen- ton that he liked thinking about it." Fenton was alarmed enough to violate Holmes' health privacy rights and call his mother, Arlene. But Fenton did not tell Ar- lene Holmes about her son's homicidal obsession, in- stead mentioning that he'd dropped out of school. The documents show that Fenton found Holmes' mother's reaction reassur- ing. Fenton said she never heard from Holmes again. But Holmes didn't stop thinking about her. Hours before he left for the the- ater, he mailed her a jour- nal where he had scrawled his detailed plans for the at- tack, plans he said he point- edly kept from her during their sessions. THEATER SHOOTER Records show school's response to Holmes By Don Babwin The Associated Press FOX LAKE, ILL. Authori- ties broadened the hunt Wednesday for three sus- pects wanted in the fatal shooting of a popular Illi- nois police officer, even as theyacknowledgedthatthey had no indication the men were still in the area where the slaying happened. After an intensive 14-hour "grid search" of homes, rail- road tracks and marsh- land in the village of Fox Lake, the second-day man- hunt turned to the painstak- ing detective work of chas- ing down tips, collecting and reviewing surveillance video and interviewing res- idents near the crime scene. Meanwhile, new search teams rippled out into sub- divisions beyond the initial 2-square-mile perimeter es- tablished on Tuesday. At least 100 investigators were on the ground. A major challenge for in- vestigators was the lack of a description of the suspects beyond the vague one that came from the officer, who told dispatchers he was pur- suing three suspicious men — two white, one black — momentsbeforehewasshot. "That was the only de- scription provided," said Lake County Major Crimes Task Force Cmdr. George Filenko, the lead investiga- tor on the case. "So of course we're getting the public call- ing in every time they see that match of three individ- uals or even two individuals. We've closed out those leads completely as being unsub- stantiated." Lt. Charles Joseph Gli- niewicz, a 30-year police veteran, was shot Tuesday morning while pursuing three men he spotted on his way to work along a road- way with nothing around but open fields and aban- doned-looking businesses, Filenko said. Gliniewicz told dispatchersthemenraninto a swampy area, and he re- quested a second unit. Dispatcherssoonlost con- tact with him. Backup offi- cers found him about 50 yards from his squad car with a gunshot wound. He died soon after. Filenko said there was no indication he was inten- tionally targeted, though authorities did not rule out that possibility. The initial, frenzied search for his killers in- volved law enforcement agencies from across the state. Some wore tactical gear and toted high-pow- ered rifles. Officers took up positions on rooftops and along railroad tracks and scanned the terrain through rifle scopes and binoculars. Others leaned out of heli- copters with weapons at the ready. On Tuesday night, they declared the initial search zone clear, allowing investi- gators to begin poring over the crime scene and sur- rounding area. Still, they knocked on doors with caution. "I believe that the search teams did a thorough job, but I know there have been a number of national inci- dents where suspects have cleverly escaped or hidden in place," Filenko said. "So anything's possible." Investigators were recov- ering and reviewing video recordings, but so far none has captured images of the suspects, Filenko said. Despite the challenges, he told reporters that he felt the teams were making progress. "As always, we're rely- ing on the public, too," he said. "All it takes is one tip or good lead to break a case wide open." Residents of the usu- ally sleepy community were urged to stay vigilant. Schools that went on lock- down the day of the shoot- ing were closed a day later. An emotional Mayor Donny Schmit described the slain officer as a personal friend, a three-decade mem- ber of the department and a father of four sons. "We lost a family mem- ber," Schmit said of the 52-year-old officer known around town as "G.I. Joe." "His commitment to the people of this community has been unmatched and will be dearly missed." Workers adorned the vil- lage hall with black and pur- ple bunting in a display of mourning. Several evening vigils were planned. Eleven-year-old Takoa Thomas, a sixth grader, stood on the side of a road with a handmade sign that read "Cops' lives matter. RIP GI Joe." "I wanted to be out here to show support," the boy said. His mother, Tara Eng- land, 41, said the boy's school was closed, and she had mixed feelings about their safety. "One of the reasons I'm out here is I don't want to be home alone," she said. "My husband's at work." "But if it were me, I'd be long gone," she said of the suspects. TheareaneartheWiscon- sin border area is popular for boating and other out- door pursuits because of its forest preserves and a chain of lakes that partly encircles Fox Lake. Gliniewicz's death is the third law enforcement fa- tality in Illinois this year, according to the Law En- forcement Officers Memo- rial Fund, which tracks of- ficers deaths so their names can be enshrined on a Wash- ington, D.C., memorial.
