Freddie Gray's Step-Father Reveals Hope in Grieving

Freddie Gray's relatives say they are going through the most difficult time of their lives — but they are encouraged by criminal charges brought against six police officers, and they are holding on to hope that his loss might change the country.
Gray's stepfather, Richard Shipley spokewith NBC News' Lester Holt saying"It does me proud to see so many people caring for justice and raising the name of Freddie in that manner,"
Shipley continued "Maybe it'll change laws, or maybe Freddie'll be a martyr and his name will live on forever. And that makes us very proud."
Gray, 25, died last month after sustaining a fatal spinal cord injury in police custody. Baltimore's top prosecutor said Friday that he never should have been arrested, and filed charges — including second-degree murder — against the officers.
