BALTIMORE—Prosecutors in the Freddie Gray case have asked the judge to take the unusual step of ordering all evidence to be made confidential before the trial of six police officers charged in his death.

The request seeks to prevent defense lawyers from making public any discovery material they receive in the run-up to the trial. Discovery material, which legally must be turned over to the defense, includes evidence, witness lists and other information.

Prosecutors said they want to avoid what they called unfair pretrial publicity, which they largely blamed on the defense.

I’m sure they want a secret trial before a secret judge and a secret specially chosen jury and a secret conviction and secret disposition.

In the end, the best thing for these cops is for this prosecutor to remain on the job. If she is removed, a professional, experienced prosecutor won’t make the mistakes the elected one is likely to commit.

the right to a fair trial is an individual right-

14th amendment in part: ...nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

These prosecutors believe the right belongs to the state. No wonder we and these cops are in deep trouble.

I’d like to know where she got her law degree, from a cereal box? She stands with thugs and tells them “It’s our time!” ???? And it seems to me the only evidence she has is that the cops didn’t make Gray wear his seatbelt.

She started this case with a press conference and blames the defense for the publicity? If I’m the judge, I ain’t buyin’ it.
