The second-degree depraved heart murder case against Baltimore Police Officer Caesar Goodson is scheduled to begin Jan. 6 with pre-trial motions.

Goodson, 45, was driving the police van in which Freddie Gray suffered a fatal injury after being arrested in April. His death a week later set off days of unrest in Baltimore.
