Grubered, Nifonged, Mosbied, Borked...
All kinds of new verbs brought to us by the progressives.
Shhhhh! Don’t you know the rules? Conservatives, particularly Trump supporters, are not allowed to talk about prosecutors and the justice system. If they do, Paul Ryan will accuse them of a textbook case of racism.
No, Mosby was playing her own toon to gain credibility and notoriety and recognition to the progressive machine. The looters had no tune other than the opportunity to loot.
Yes, most of those officers other than the bicycle patrol should have been charged. I've no doubt about that. This wasn't the first nor the second time in 4 years that BPD injured or killed a passenger in the paddy wagon. It was the 3rd one in 4 years. All involving mishandling shackled prisoners.
Where left wing haters are involved in race or sex witch hunt prosecution, you will always find corruption. Justice is neither the intent nor the goal.

What happened in any other instance is irrelevant to this one.
Just because the city paid out damages doesn’t mean there was any actual wrongdoing.

Mosby will get ZERO convictions because ZERO of these officers should have been charged in the first place.
>>The Mayor of Baltimore and the Prosecutor should be indicted.<<
Maybe Trump’s AG can bring a civil rights case against them, or RICO.
That AG will be busy with all the corrupt rats that need prosecuting.
Allen is about the least credible witness imaginable. He subsequently denied making the quoted statement, and said he’d never talked to the police. During the interview the Prosecution failed to disclose, he said both statements were correct and claimed there was no conflict between them. He was in the van following arrest on a drug charge, and is currently doing time for a parole violation.
But the big issue is that the coroner made the decision regarding the location of death at the time when his claim that he’d never said Gray was alive and banging around after that point was the current version. For the remaining officers, their whole case relies on the theory that Gray was injured before the third stop and the officers refused to get him medical care.
On Thursday, Williams told the prosecution that they apparently didn’t know the definition of the word exculpatory. I submit they are very aware of that definition, and it was the driving factor behind their failure to disclose the meeting to the defense.
Can someone refresh my memory as to why Officer Porter is being re-tried?
Thanks,

Your opinion. Mine is just as good.
This was an intentional act on the part of at least one officer with the cooperation of others. Shackle the prisoner up, toss him in the back and don’t buckle him in. Then take the ‘short cut’ for a little police dispensed pain. There intent may not have been to kill him, nonetheless that was the result of them abusing him.
There was a procedure introduced some weeks earlier that all prisoners had to be seat belted during travel. This was a result of 2 other lawsuits stemming from BPD joyriding prisoners. Whoever drove that car and shackled him up without seat should go to prison.
It was. He disavowed it within hours of making it. During the meeting in question he reportedly said both his first and second statements were correct, and he saw no contradiction between them.
Hung jury. 11-1 for not guilty on the most serious charge.
The only evidence presented of a "rough ride" was rolling through a stop sign and crossing the center line at slow speed.
There was a procedure introduced some weeks earlier that all prisoners had to be seat belted during travel.
If you had followed Porters Trial, you would have seen that destroyed by the defense six ways from Sunday.
No. Mosby botched these cases. 1 or 2 convictions were guaranteed until she started mouthing off.
This is a prima facie case of police misconduct. The facts are not in dispute. It’s intent.
His trial ended in mistrial for a hung jury.
And the facts have resulted in a hung jury and an acquittal.
So, yes, the facts are in dispute.
“Mosby has been personally sued by the acquitted two officers for $millions. They will absolutely win.”
I hope you are right, but I doubt it.
Prosecutors have been granted an immunity from lawsuit and prosecution that is hard to believe.
The Supreme Court has ruled that prosecutors can lie. They can recuit false witnesses for grand juries, even when they have clear conflicts of interests in the case. They can drop prosecutions just before trial, and then bring charges over and over, to financially break someone they consider an enemy.
And they cannot be sued or criminally prosecuted for any of it.
I hope you are right, but I doubt it.
Yes, it was.
Don’t know why the prosecution thought they could get away with covering it up.

Not 1983 civil rights. Remember Selma?
