Trying to be political and assuage a mob will get you into trouble. Most of the cops are now suing Mosby.
Via The Blaze:
Earlier this week, prosecutors dropped all remaining charges against officers in connection with the April 2015 death of Baltimore man Freddie Gray, bringing the trial to a close with no convictions.
Charges were dropped Wednesday against the three remaining Baltimore police officers to be tried. The prosecutor who lost the case, Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby was livid, citing the case as evidence of a crooked criminal justice system.
The next day, defense attorneys for officers Garrett Miller, William Porter and Sgt. Alicia White had some harsh words for Mosby.
Attorneys for Lt. Brian Rice and Officers Edward Nero and Garrett Miller told the Baltimore Sun Thursday that Mosby painted herself as a “victim,” when in reality, she refused help that was offered to her by Maryland State Police and other agencies across the region.
“The fact that she’s finding herself as a victim and blaming police, and blaming the court, and blaming the defendants for exercising their constitutional rights to elect a court trial, and blaming the judge for him actually holding them to their burden, is pretty shocking,” Catherine Flynn, Miller’s attorney, told the Sun.
“These charges were not supported by any fact or evidence. Period,” said Michael Belsky, Rice’s attorney. “These charges were brought based on a fictitious narrative that was never true and never proven.”
Mosby defended her prosecution in a speech Wednesday in West Baltimore, saying members of the Baltimore Police Department actively worked to undermine the investigation into Gray’s death and that prosecutors couldn’t do their jobs, citing unspecified issues within the criminal justice system.
State police spokesman Greg Shipley told the Sun that his agency had offered assistance in the case, but Mosby never took them up on the offer.
“The Maryland State Police agreed to provide technical assistance to the state’s attorney’s office that would include the expertise of our Computer Crimes Unit,” Shipley said. “Ultimately, we were not called upon to provide any assistance.”
