Officer Caesar Goodson Jr., who was acquitted of second-degree murder and other charges in the death of Freddie Gray, is set to receive $87,000 in back pay.

The city’s Board of Estimates is set to authorize a payment of $87,705 to Goodson on Wednesday. Goodson and three other officers charged with felonies in connection with Gray’s death were suspended without pay, under department policy. Having been acquitted, Goodson is now entitled to back pay under that policy.

Goodson, 46, drove the transport van in which Gray sustained fatal injuries. He was suspended without pay from May 1, 2015, when he was charged by the state’s attorney’s office, until June 22 of this year, when Circuit Judge Barry Williams found Goodson not guilty on charges that included second-degree depraved-heart murder and three counts of manslaughter.

Williams delivered a broad rebuke of the case against Goodson, saying prosecutors lacked evidence to support the charges.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has said Goodson will remain suspended by the Police Department and now faces an administrative review.

Gray, 25, died April 19, 2015, one week after his arrest. His death sparked protests, and his funeral was followed by looting and arson.
