'Victory Rally' Planned For Saturday In Baltimore

BALTIMORE (AP) -- The head of a group that is holding a march Saturday says it will now be a "victory rally" after a prosecutor charged six officers in the death of Freddie Gray.

Malik Shabazz, president of Black Lawyers for Justice, said he was pleasantly surprised by the charges and commended State's Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby "for standing up for justice and setting a standard for prosecutors all over the nation."

"We usually face injustice," he said.

Shabazz has helped organize rallies after Gray suffered a critical injury while in police custody. He hopes thousands show up for his rally Saturday.
