So, what happened today?



A judge ordered that six Baltimore Police officers charged in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray be tried separately.



The ruling was one of three that Judge Barry Williams handed down during the first pre-trial motions hearing in the case. Williams earlier denied defense motions to dismiss charges against the officers and to recuse State's Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby's office from the case.



Prosecutors sought to have the six officers tried in groups, while defense attorneys had argued their clients should be tried separately.



Williams said trying the officers together would not be "in the interest of justice."



What does that mean?



Not much at this point — Mosby's office is still handling the case, which still includes all the charges initially filed against the officers. There will be six trials, which is what the defense attorneys requested. Prosecutors had asked for two groupings.



What happens next?



The sides are scheduled to return to court on Sept. 10, where they are expected to argue a motion to move the officers' trials out of Baltimore. A trial date has been scheduled for Oct. 13, though that could change as the individual motions are considered by the judge.
