Defense attorneys for the six police officers accused of killing Freddie Gray in Baltimore earlier this summer have filed a motion claiming that prosecutors tried to steer the investigation away from Gray's history of faking injuries while in law enforcement settings in order to collect settlements.
From Baltimore Sun:
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."
Bledsoe, the lead prosecutor in the case against the officers, represented Gray in a 2012 case in which he pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine.
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."
The defense attorneys said they obtained the information from interviews with prosecution witnesses.
They 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.
Mosby's office did not respond to a request for comment. Prosecutors say they have disclosed all the evidence to which the defense is entitled.
Defense attorneys for the six officers declined to comment Thursday or could not be reached.
Police did not respond to a request for comment on the allegations about conversations between its investigators and prosecutors.

old news.
If that revelation doesn’t get someone in the prosecutor’s office charged with....
Oh, wait! This is Baltimore.... nevermind.
They let a city burn for this fraud.
It’s always being done over some low-life. Ordinary, good, law-abiding blacks are getting killed in drive-by’s and home invasions daily and nobody got no hashtag or outrage for them.
How is this a bombshell? We new this almost from jump.
The whole thing has pointed to this from Day 1.
Another scammer trying to take advantage of expected black protestors.
I hope he enjoyed what he did and caused, because he’s not likely in a good place, now.
Well, if she gets fired there, I’m sure the Dept. of Just-Us (Federal RICO organization) will recognize her talents and pick her up ... she could easily go straight to the IRS, Fast and Furious, Clinton Email, Benghazi or one of the DOJU race baiting operations.
“old news.”
It sure is.
So he was a Slippin’ Jimmy.
His severed spinal cord was fake?
His spinal cord was not severed according to the autopsy report. He had injuries consistent with a cervical fracture like is found in diving accidents.
I remember hearing it many moons ago also
Wipe out injusticeses!

I knew this immediately when I read that a prisoner in the same paddy wagon heard Gray ramming himself into the walls of the paddy wagon. I knew something was suspicious when that witness disappeared from further investigation.
