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.

He was faking whole body paralysis, but I think he was standing on his feet and moving normally once he got to the van, so they knew he was faking it.
“If all this it true, Misby will screw of her case so badly the cops will probably be found not guilty....
Very possibly true. But not without 6 figures in legal fees (unless the police union pays) and ruined careers and frazzled nerves for 5 years.
Yup, yup, and yup.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Wow! Just Wow!
Doesn’t matter, though, there will still be riots when the court decision is made, no matter what the verdict is, because that is all part of the Soros plan for civil unrest and race riots.

Thank you for making me learn a new term.
Isn’t that a little silly? I have no love for Mosby and her dishonesty and racism, but I saw nothing offensive in her dancing.
Sorry. Brady v. Maryland (irony alert) set the precedence that requires prosecutors to share exculpatory information with the defense.
United States Supreme Court
Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (May 13,1963)
was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the prosecution had withheld from the criminal defendant certain evidence. The defendant challenged his conviction, arguing it had been contrary to the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.The Supreme Court held that withholding exculpatory evidence violates due process "where the evidence is material either to guilt or to punishment"; and the court determined that under Maryland state law the withheld evidence could not have exculpated the defendant but was material to the level of punishment he would be given. Hence the Maryland Court of Appeals' ruling was affirmed.
A defendant's request for "Brady disclosure" refers to the holding of the Brady case, and the numerous state and federal cases that interpret its requirement that the prosecution disclose material exculpatory evidence to the defense. Exculpatory evidence is “material” if “there is a reasonable probability that his conviction or sentence would have been different had these materials been disclosed.” Brady evidence includes statements of witnesses or physical evidence that conflicts with the prosecution's witnesses,and evidence that could allow the defense to impeach the credibility of a prosecution witness.
