Baltimore is quickly becoming a bad joke in the criminal justice community. In particular, the Baltimore State's Attorney, Marilyn Mosby has turned the justice system into one dreadful daytime soap opera.
Mosby, by her many public actions and pronouncements, has clearly violated the code of professional responsibility and could easily be held to account before the Maryland State Bar Examiners.
Her demeanor has been that of a person seeking public acclaim, rather than seeking a fair trial for the six BPD officers under indictment in the death of Freddie Gray. Mosby, seems more like a mob leader of vigilantes, than an officer of the court committed to see that justice is achieved in a fair and impartial trial of the six BPD officers.
It should be remembered that Mosby brought charges against the six police officers within 24 hours of taking over the case. The defendants were subsequently indicted by a Grand Jury lead by Ms. Mosby after she dropped several of the original charges. Legal scholars believe that Mosby originally overcharged the defendants and is now engaging in unethical behavior as the case goes to trial.
Here's a recap of some of Mosby's most recent behaviors and her upcoming circus appearance. Judge for yourself, whether Mosby has stepped over the line in her professional demeanor or lack thereof.
What a busy few weeks Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby has had.
She appeared onstage with Prince. Sat down for an interview with Vogue. And, of course, she made national news by pressing charges against six officers in the death of Freddie Gray, who suffered a severe spinal injury while in police custody.
