BALTIMORE (AP) Baltimore prosecutors are seeking a gag order as they pursue a criminal case against six city officers in the case of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old man who died a week after suffering a spinal injury while in police custody.
A court document that references the gag order, obtained by The Associated Press, is dated Wednesday. Assistant State's Attorney Antonio Gioia wrote that the gag order motion was mailed to defense attorneys.
Rochelle Ritchie, a spokeswoman for State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby, confirmed Friday the office is seeking a gag order. She declined to provide further details.
A gag order typically prevents attorneys and witnesses from publicly commenting on or releasing information about a particular case.
Mosby announced the charges, which range from second-degree misdemeanor assault to "depraved-heart" murder, in a lengthy news conference one day after receiving an investigative report from police. The May 1 announcement came after more than a week of protests that on two occasions gave way to rioting, prompting Democratic Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to implement a curfew and Republican Gov. Larry Hogan to declare a state of emergency for the city.

Only the prostitution, uh, prosecution and the rabble-rousers should be allowed to taint the jury pool.

I hope she doesn’t get away with it! If justice is served, she’ll get her rear handed to her and then be sued into bankruptcy.

The purpose of a gag order (an admitted violation of Freedom of Speech) is to protect the parties involved so they can obtain a fair trial. The police officers who are accused of crimes ranging up to murder in the second degree are the parties involved. If anybody is to be given a gag order, it’s the State’s Attorney. As for the State’s Attorney, she already spoke in public, offering her opinion on matters of law and evidence. If would be grossly unfair that the other parties not have an equal opportunity.

If would be grossly unfair that the other parties not have an equal opportunity.Absolutely, well said. I can't believe a judge would give her this gag order for that very reason, but of course this is Baltimore and no telling what may happen.

She’s trying to keep information from getting out to the public. She’s afraid she will be exposed as a race hustling moron before she has time to brainwash her constituents. The only thing she wants to gag is the evidence that exonerates the officers.
