Donta Allen was riding in the same police van as Freddie Gray and has now spoken to various press sources regarding his experience. His story sheds light on the situation regarding Freddie Gray's injuries.

BALTIMORE (WJZ ) — From the beginning, the investigation into what killed Freddie Gray has centered on what happened inside the police transport van.
We knew there was another prisoner inside the van and tonight we hear from him.
WJZ‘s Mike Schuh is the first to speak with Donta Allen about what he heard.
“I am Donta Allen. I am the one who was in the van with Freddie Gray,” Allen said.
The one who the police commissioner calls the second prisoner in the van.
“The second prisoner who was picked up said that he didn’t see any harm done to Freddie at all,” Commissioner Anthony Batts said. “What he has said us that he heard Freddie thrashing about.”
But Allen wants to set something straight.
“All I did was go straight to the station, but I heard a little banging like he was banging his head,” he said.
He tells WJZ he’s angry about an internal police report published in The Washington Post.

BALTIMORE (WJZ) —A major development in the investigation into the death of Freddie Gray.
Derek Valcourt has what city police had to say about their investigation into the death of Gray and what happens now.
This came as a surprise, police said they would not turn their information over to prosecutors until tomorrow.
Instead they moved a day early and though the report is not being made public right now, they did reveal some newly discovered information in the case.
Police Commissioner Anthony Batts announced a day early the long investigation into the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray — after his April 12th arrest — is now in the hands of Baltimore’s recently elected top prosecutor Marilyn Mosby, who will determine whether police face charges.
