the b!tch had an ethical bypass at birth...

With the complete acquittal of Caesar Goodson this week, the argument being made by Maryland State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby has essentially imploded. Goodson was allegedly the “most culpable” in the death of Freddie Gray and the one officer involved in the incident who might have been convicted on any sort of charges. There are still four more trials slated to take place, however, all of which would grind more salt into the wounds between City Hall and the police force. Should they even continue? Legal experts are weighing in on the subject and there’s a fair case to to be made that Mosby should simply quit while she’s behind. (AT&T News)

I agree. And the lawsuits that have been brought should be against her personally, not the taxpayers.
The delightful thing about all of this is that it derails her political trajectory, which in a hothouse like Baltimore was actually pretty good before this folly.
Marilyn Mosby belongs in jail.
Are you saying that the policeman tried and found not guilty are in convicted criminals, and they deserve further punishment by any means necessary?
This goes beyond having a weak case, the prosecutors’ performance in preparing and presenting has been a train wreck.
Thanks. They should dismiss the rest of the case. No new witnesses and their star witnesses have failed to corroborate the fictional narrative that was created by the mob from the outset. The facts have never been on the side of Mosby and I fear for our country when those who must preserve justice subscribe to mob driven prosecutions.
I don’t worry about her, she is cute enough and stupid enough to either be a porn star of a 100 a night hooker.
She had an ethical obligation not to bring the cases in the first place. At this point, in for a penny, in for a pound.
No that is what the fine Baltimore mayor says. They are hell-bent on destroying these guys. I hope it blows up in their faces. Freddie Grey killed himself, though not meaning to by ramming his head into the rear door.
No, not technically. Each case stands on its own, because each has individual fact patterns.
Also technically and ethically, a prosecutor is not supposed to file a charge and gin up the court process, unless they have sufficient evidence and a legal theory that can produce a conviction. In practice, prosecutors often bring charges without that level of evidence, or without a legal theory (see Zimmerman case), because the legal system facilitates "punishment by process."
The only risk she is taking is political. She is on firm / safe ethical grounds, in that even if she acts unethically, no court is going to call her out for bringing a case that is almost certainly going to result in an acquittal.
Who knows, the same (weak) case before a different judge could in fact end up in a conclusion of guilt. Plenty of "hangin' judges" out there.

for libtards it's the good intentions and the emotions behind the action that counts, not whether its actually just or sensible.
Fired?! She should be disbarred and brought up on charges of prosecutorial misconduct.
Nope whe will do all four trials and lose 4 more times.
I know.......I could tell when she first hit the microphone with that smirk on her face and her hearing the calls for justice for Freddy Gray that this was going to be a witch (bytch) hunt to make SOMEONE pay. With every not-guilty verdict I want to dance around the room......I have popcorn ready for what is yet to come.
Is this a joke? Somebody expects self serving racial pimps to act ethically??
BS, I’m not pro Mosby, but some of these cops are certainly guilty of manslaughter from their malfeasance.
Save your rabid responses for something more important than these P.O.S cops and this P.O.S State Attorney.
I’ve never seen the ‘sandwich theorem’ used in adjudicating criminal cases.
The States’ cases so far have depended completely on ignorance, emotion, and suppression of exculpatory evidence. Mosby rushed into this without realizing her entire program would collapse if defendants chose Bench Trials to evade lynch mobs of their peers.
Does conducting her own investigation expose Mosby to personal liability in the various lawsuits filed by the officers? (And Schatzow and Bledsoe?). Smarter heads than theirs might want to mitigate their own exposure by stopping trials for which there is no hope of a conviction, and that seem to produce more evidence of misconduct with each repetition.
Even their expert witnesses have been getting crushed.
