The lawsuits filed against Marilyn Mosby, the Baltimore District Attorney who tried unsuccessfully to prosecute six Baltimore police officers for the death of Freddie Gray, could have far-reaching consequences. Warren Alperstein, a legal analyst, told the local CBS affiliate that if the lawsuits filed by the officers are allowed to continue, Mosby could lose her immunity and her compulsion to testify in the case could cause major rifts in the state’s attorney office.
“You can bet that the officers and the attorneys are champing at the bit to get Mrs. Mosby under oath,” Alperstein told CBS.
Alperstein noted that the highly political decisions Mosby made by her failed attempts to prosecute the officers for the death of Freddie Gray could force her to testify and eliminate her immunity.
“In a civil case like this, you as a defendant don’t have that right. You must testify or be held in contempt of court,” said Alperstein. “It is unprecedented. It is unheard of.”
The lawsuits were filed starting in April just before every officer Mosby tried to prosecute for the suspect’s death was thrown out of court.
In their complaints, the officers charged that Mosby knew many of the statements she was making during her announcements to indict the officers were false and were made for political, not legal, reasons. The lawsuits allege false arrest, false imprisonment, defamation or false light, and other assertions.
For her part, in a recent speech delivered at Johns Hopkins University, Mosby implied that the current legal actions being taken against her by the officers may have to do with her race.

Sorry...race card won't play. The suers are black and the jury will also likely be black. Just demonstrates how vacant this crony's mind is...so vacant that she doesn't even realize how guilty it makes her look!
That woman needs to be taken to the nearest tall tree branch.
“Could strip her”...Not usually my first thoughts about Ms Mosby.//
More scalps needed to discourage the idiots.
When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
“For her part, in a recent speech delivered at Johns Hopkins University, Mosby implied that the current legal actions being taken against her by the officers may have to do with her race.”
Yeah, that’s the ticket, those Black cops she tried to railroad are racists. Actually, it does really have to do with her race, she’s dumber than a box of rocks. I hope she get “Nifonged” right into jail, and that she has to relinquish her law license as well. Now, the next task is to sue Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Baltimore’s Black, dumbassed mayor too. Maybe the Black former Police Chief she kicked out of his chair will join in!
Who granted Mosby immunity ?
and immunity from what ?
She has that angry, vicious, hateful, forever-a-victim, sneering scowl made fashionable by MO.
Actually, she’s better off getting disbarred.
I think this {Prosecutorial immunity} could be pierced, via RUBY RIDGE, and their the Federal agents were caught in a lie, that was the main issue, and the 9th circuit stripped them of there immunity, because they were what is known as the complaining witness.
Too bad Greta is no longer on FOX. She went hard after M. Mosby.
Thank you for that explanation
It is a legal precedent with which I was totally unfamiliar.
As a parallel incident, the same legal precedent exists in the Waco hilltop restaurant law enforcement/gang shootings as well ?
The answer ref: Waco hilltop restaurant law enforcement/gang shootings, is yes, unless proof can be shown that one of the complaining witness(s) lied their a$$ off, other wise they enjoy Prosecutorial Immunity / or for the cops implied Immunity.
