UNDATED (AP) - A new trial date has been set for the next officer to stand trial on charges stemming from the death of Freddie Gray.
Lt. Brian Rice, whose trial was slated to begin Wednesday, will head to trial April 13.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys asked for a postponement at a brief hearing before Baltimore Circuit Judge Charles Peters.
The postponement came hours after an appeals court ruled that Officer William Porter must testify against his colleagues while he awaits a retrial. His trial ended in a hung jury in December. The trials for the other five officers have been on hold while the appeals court made its decision.
Circuit Judge Barry Williams will set dates for the remaining officers' trials.
