Update to this story. Echoes of her remarks when she announced the original charges on May 1, telling rioters “you are at the forefront of a movement, and our time is now!”
Via Daily Caller:
Baltimore City state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby issued a call to action for young people, urging them to take advantage of the spotlight provided by the Freddie Gray case to form a “movement” to reform the criminal justice system.2
“As young people, we need to utilize this moment and make it into a movement, to address some of the structural, socioeconomic, and systemic issues that plague our communities all across the country, not just in Baltimore,” Mosby told Cosmopolitan magazine in an interview published on Tuesday.2
Mosby’s clarion call comes on the same day her case against the six Baltimore cops charged in the case suffered an apparent blow. The medical examiner who performed the autopsy on the 25-year-old Gray ruled that the injuries he sustained while in the back of a police van following his April 12 arrest met the legal and medical definition of an accident. While Gray’s April 19 death was ruled a homicide, the autopsy casts further doubt on the charges leveled against the cops.
