State Senator Catherine Pugh On West Baltimore Neighborhoods

On Saturday, thousands gathered in front of City Hall to call for justice over the police custody death of Freddie Gray. Many showed their support for Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s decision to file criminal charges against the six officers involved in Gray’s arrest. In this hour  we’ll speak to Page Croyder, a former Deputy State's Attorney for the city, about Mosby’s actions.

Plus, cries for reform continue. Senator Catherine Pugh, who represents the Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood where Gray grew up, joins us in Studio A. With the next legislative session 9 months away, how will she keep attention focused on Baltimore’s long-ignored communities?
