    This morning, Baltimore City State Prosecutor Marilyn Mosby announced criminal charges against the police officers involved in the death of Freddie Gray. What’s likely to happen as the cases move forward? And what does it mean for the country at large? Next, in our weekly film roundup, Avengers: Age of Ultron is expected to break box office records this weekend. But is it good? Next, a sports bonanza. First, we take a look at the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather boxing showdown tomorrow. It’s being called the “Fight of the Century.” Then, a preview of game seven between the LA Clippers and the San Antonio Spurs, the NFL draft, and the Kentucky Derby with the comedy-sportscasting duo the Sklar brothers.
