CNN reports, however, that the Maryland Court of Special Appeals issued a stay Monday, effectively stopping the trial of the officer until it can be determined whether William Porter, another officer indicted in the case, can be made to testify in Goodson's trial.ย 

Goodson is the officer who faces the most serious charges in relation to Gray's death: second-degree depraved-heart murder. If convicted, he could face 30 years in prison. Goodson was driving the police van in which Gray was being transported when he was fatally injured in April 2015.

Goodson is also facing charges of involuntary manslaughter, second-degree negligent assault, manslaughter by vehicle (gross negligence), manslaughter by vehicle (criminal negligence), misconduct in office and reckless endangerment, CNN notes.ย 

Porter was tried in December on charges of involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment. Porter's case ended with a hung jury last month, and he is scheduled for retrial in June.ย
