"Baltimore PD 6" defense demands prosecutor be recused

Defense attorneys in Gray case call for state's attorney to be recused

Defense attorneys representing six Baltimore police officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray filed a motion Friday to have the case dismissed, or for the city’s top prosecutor to be recused from the case and replaced by a special prosecutor, citing alleged conflict of interest.

The attorneys argue in the documents that the officers were victims of an 'overzealous prosecution' by State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby, who they claim has personal and political motivations in the case.

Among the alleged conflicts of interest cited, the motion includes Mosby's marriage to the city councilman who represents the district where Gray died.

Don't know if they mentioned her mentor and huge campaign contributor was also Gray's attorney or not, but this action had to be expected, regardless. That completely immature and unprofessional statement she made to the media last week indicates she's far more ready to be a street activist than a state's attorney. Not only should she recuse herself from the case, she should resign. She's a disgrace to her profession.
