Three law enforcement officials began deliberating over Goodson’s professional future Monday following the conclusion of his administrative trial on 21 charges of violating department policies during the 2015 arrest of Gray.
It was not immediately clear how the proceedings Tuesday would unfold, or with what specificity, if any, the panel might outline its decision.
Goodson, 48, who was acquitted last year of second-degree depraved-heart murder and other criminal charges related to Gray’s death, could be fired if the trial board finds him guilty of any of the 80 or so specified infractions listed under the 21 separate charges against him.
Under Maryland law, officer punishments are meant to be kept private.
Many of the charges relate to Goodson’s failure to ensure Gray’s safety in the back of his police van or seek medical attention for Gray after he’d asked for it. Gray, 25, who had been handcuffed and placed in leg shackles but not restrained in a seat belt, was found unconscious and suffering from severe spinal cord injuries in the back of the van, and died a week later.
