Complete Headline: Defense says prosecutor steered police away from evidence Freddie Gray had history of 'crash for cash' schemes

The police detectives who investigated the death of Freddie Gray were told that he had a history of participating in "crash-for-cash" schemes — injuring himself in law enforcement settings to collect settlements — but were advised by a state prosecutor not to pursue the information, according to defense attorneys for the six officers charged in Gray's arrest and death.

The defense attorneys said in a court motion Thursday that Assistant State's Attorney Janice Bledsoe told police investigators working the case in its early stages not to "do the defense attorneys' jobs for them" by pursuing information they had about such schemes and evidence that Gray "intentionally injured himself at the Baltimore City Detention Center."

The defense attorneys argued that her alleged statement "would seem to indicate some level of knowledge that exculpatory evidence exists which could benefit the officers charged in Mr. Gray's death and that the prosecutor did not want this information uncovered by investigators."

[Defense attorneys] have argued in previous motions that Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby has failed to provide large amounts of evidence through the normal discovery process, and that they have spent hundreds of hours collecting evidence on their own.

Defense attorneys have sought to have Mosby and others removed from the case.

It’s Mosby, the prosecutors, and that idiot Mayor who ought to be on trial. Not the cops.

She could have squashed the firestorm that burnt Maryland and beyond, just by giving a buzz to old Big Ears and cluing him in that, in this case, there is a documented flake involved that will make them all look stupid in the end.

But that means caring about that quaint old thing, truth.

Not in the new agenda.

If all this it true, Misby will screw of her case so badly the cops will probably be found not guilty on most if not all counts. her INcompitence will result in hundreds of millions of dollars in damage as a result of the looting, crime, arson, etc. that will follow.

How does one make an ethics complaint to the bar association or Board of Ethics? Is that peopled by her relatives?

Looks like the defense has good grounds for a Brady complaint. Pretty tame compared to all the other misdeeds by the prosecutor.

That too, and yet that seems to be some of the lesser harm done by that cover up.

How else can you spell out, even to sympathizers with typical liberal causes, that This Is Not The Hill To Die On?

May the good Lord hasten the dissolution of this kind of nonsense.

If what the defense attorneys allege turns out to be true, both Mosby and Bledsoe should not only be removed from office but disbarred.

Watch the video of his arrest. He was faking a neck injury before they put him in the van.

It’s obvious at this point that Obama/Soros have been placing their ‘soldiers’ throughout the

judiciary (the judge who blocked release of more Planned Parenthood videos in Calif)

the prosecutorial offices (like halfwit Mosby)

the city mayors (the half-witted Baltimore mayor who was stupid enough to repeat publicly her direction straight from Valerie Jarret to give the rioters “room to destroy”)

etc.

There is going to be such a vigorous effort to sweep this under the rug... because it always worked before.

If he actually reported such a thing, the law is pretty clear that medical attention should have been summoned at that point — and that would make them look bad if they did not. The time for justice is when the medics find nothing.

This clouds the case... there could be poxes on more than one house.

MY PREDICTION

Mosby will soon be a member of the US House of Representatives from her district

while the Baltimore mayor is a good bet to become a US Senator from Maryland.

And if you don’t like it, complain to the Maryland Attorney Grievance Commission—which is a nest of leftwing operatives.

I suppose that is one way: kick them upstairs.
