Elections have consequences.
Via Fox News:
Baltimore’s top prosecutor won her Democratic primary Tuesday, assuring her of a second term despite criticism over what critics say was her botched 2015 prosecution of six police officers in the death of a black man named Freddie Gray.
The victory effectively hands the job of state’s attorney to Marilyn Mosby because the city is dominated by the Democratic Party and no Republican filed to oppose her.
Mosby, 38, had to fight off concerns about her handling of the prosecution of six police officers, who faced charges after Gray, 25, died April 19, 2015, one week after suffering a spinal cord injury while being transported in a police vehicle following his arrest for possessing what was said to be an illegal knife.
The death of Gray triggered riots and protests, as many members of the community believed that rough treatment by police had contributed to his death.[…]
Still, Baltimore residents expressed overwhelming support to Mosby, precisely over her role in the case.
“Honestly, she had my vote when she charged those police. Nobody is above the law, and when she charged them it made me feel like more of a citizen,” one resident said.
“If the Baltimore city police doesn’t like her for charging their officers, then she’s definitely my candidate,” another voter said.
