They should also be calling for recusal on the basis of political motivation and identification with the rioter protesters.
BALTIMORE, May 8 (UPI) — Lawyers representing six Baltimore police officers charged with the death of Freddie Gray filed motions Friday to have the case dismissed and for the office of State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby to recuse itself.
The motion requested the charges be dropped alleging the statement of charges and arrest warnings on May 1 were not filed by the state’s attorney’s office, as they should by law, but instead from the Baltimore City’s Sheriff’s Office.
Additionally, the lawyers call for Mosby’s removal from the case saying she and her husband, Baltimore City Council member Nick Mosby, stand to have personal gain from the cases. Court documents also say she has personal relationships with some of the people who are likely to testify at trial as well as William Murphy, the Gray family attorney.
