A judge will consider Wednesday afternoon whether Baltimore Police Officer William Porter should be forced to testify against four other officers charged with the death of Freddie Gray.

Prosecutors want Porter, whose manslaughter trial ended in a mistrial last month, to testify against Sgt. Alicia White, Officer Edward Nero, Officer Garrett Miller and Lt. Brian Rice.

Porter’s second trial is scheduled for June.
