Not much happening with the Goodson trial, yet. The judge ordered Porter to testify in the trials of Goodson and White, with Porter given
limited immunity by the prosecution, but Porter's lawyers are against Porter testifying since it would violate his rights (in his own upcoming trial). Porter's lawyers filed an appeal against Porter testifying in the other two trials. The appeals court ruled that Porter didn't have to testify in the two trials until things get sorted out, and, later the appeals court issued a stay on Goodson's trial which brought that trial to a halt. Both sides are now arguing whether Porter should be compelled to testify or not. Goodson's trial won't begin until the appeals court decides if Porter must testify or not.

I don't know how 'limited' Porter's immunity is but seeing how (the glory hound) Mosby has handled things so far it's probably
very limited. If Mosby didn't have her head up her nether region then she would have been better off offering full immunity for the over-charges. In fact she should drop the charges against most, if not all, of the officers and reduce the (over-charged) charges on any of the remaining officers.
Seriously, the most that any of them
might be guilty of is not buckling FG in, and even then some of the officers wouldn't even be guilty of that. If the ones that
may be guilty of it hadn't seen the email regarding the updated rules on seat-belting then they aren't guilty either.
She doesn't give a rats behind about the officers, the city or FG. This is all about her and she's using this as a way up the ladder. I hope she ends up going down in flames - with all cases either being not guilty or hung.
