James Cohen was quoted in a Reuters article about the trial for the Baltimore officer charged in the death of Freddie Gray.
Jim Cohen, a law professor at New York’s Fordham University, said prosecutors were facing a major difficulty since Porter could want immunity from prosecution to testify.
But prosecutors had labeled Porter a liar, giving the defense a perfect tool to use against him as a witness, Cohen said.
“I think they’ve got a big problem, whether it (the retrial) is set for June of ’16 or June of ’18,” he said.
