| Baltimore prosecutor seeks to block release of Freddie Gray autopsy Posted: 04 Jun 2015 08:55 AM PDT  (Reuters) - Baltimore's top prosecutor plans to seek a protective order that would block the release of Freddie Gray's autopsy report and other documents as she prosecutes police over his arrest, the Baltimore Sun reported on Thursday. State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby told the newspaper that prosecutors "have a duty to ensure a fair and impartial process for all parties involved" and "will not be baited into litigating this case through the media." Gray, a 25-year-old black man, died on April 19 from a spinal injury suffered in police custody. Mosby has charged six officers with violations ranging from misconduct in office to, in one case, second-degree murder.

"This was wishful thinking" on Rahim's part, Evans said on NBC's "Today" program, although he noted Geller's name had come up in wiretapped phone calls.

| Exclusive: Takata identifies at least 400,000 faulty air bag replacement parts Posted: 04 Jun 2015 08:48 AM PDT  By Paul Lienert DETROIT (Reuters) - At least 400,000 of the 4 million replacement inflators for defective Takata air bags will need to be replaced again in U.S. vehicles, sources at the Japanese safety equipment maker and the U.S. safety watchdog told Reuters. Another 500,000 of those parts appear to be safe, according to U.S. safety regulators, leaving the safety of more than 3 million replacement parts in question. An official at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration told Reuters on Wednesday that it was up to Takata Corp and the carmakers to "demonstrate to us that the remedy parts are safe for the life of the vehicle." A priority now is to determine which of the replacement parts "are suspect and need to be replaced" again, the NHTSA official said.
