So she’s doing a mental transference between her cousin and Freddie Gray? Great, more prejudice.

Abigail Pesta interviewed the 35-year-old Baltimore state’s attorney for the August issue of Cosmopolitan, in an interview titled “You Have To Be Guided By What Is Right.” A Vogue profile of Mosby also was published Tuesday.

In the Cosmo interview, Mosby, who charged six officers in the death of 25-year-old Gray after he sustained injuries while in police custody, recounts her cousin’s killing, which inspired her to become involved in criminal justice reform.

“He was mistaken as a neighborhood drug dealer. He was actually an honor student,” she said.

She also relays stories of her involvement in a school desegregation program as a child, meeting her husband, City Councilman Nick Mosby, and relentless persistence in attempting to get into law school.

Mosby also takes on “racist and nasty” Internet trolls that have come with her newfound prominence: “Especially in this position, you can’t be guided by emotion. You can’t be guided by public perception,” she said. “You have to be guided by what is right. You have to be guided by the law.”

And the Vogue piece:

The article, written by Heidi Mitchell and accompanied by a photograph by Annie Leibovitz (whose recent work includes Caitlyn Jenner’s Vanity Fair cover), clocks in at almost 2,250 words. It notes that, with her swift announcement that she would prosecute the six officers charged in connection with the death of Freddie Gray, Mosby “did what no lead prosecutor in America had done in many turbulent months: bring swift and severe charges against police officers in the death of a black man.”

The article includes interviews with Mosby’s husband, City Councilman Nick Mosby, and her mother, Linda Thompson (although the Vogue article does not include her mother’s last name). While it is largely laudatory, the story does give voice to some skeptics of her decisions in the Gray case, including a former police union official and an attorney for one of the officers charged.

It also mentions Mosby’s presence at the May 10 Prince concert at Royal Farms Arena, where at one point she joined Prince onstage. “I’m a fan,” she’s quoted as saying. “Prince hadn’t been to Baltimore for 14 years. He called me onstage, and what am I going to do, say no?”
