Baltimore Police Overcharged, Likely to be Dismissed (How or when the fatal injury occurred?)

The charges against six Baltimore Police officers in the case of a death caused by an alleged “80 percent severed” spine may go too far, and some are likely to be dismissed by a judge and/or fail if there is ever a trial, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf, because of at least two important factors: causation and divided responsibility. --snip-- Since the statement of probable cause read by Baltimore lead prosecutor Marilyn J. Mosby did not include any explanation of exactly how or when the fatal injury occurred, it may be difficult to establish that any of the alleged wrongful acts or omissions was in fact the cause of the death.

I'd chalk it up to a wishful thinking spew...dismissal ain't happening. 'Rats have blood on their teeth, and unlike Republicans they know how to play followup.

Rats lost the US house and senate. They have no clue what they are doing.

Dozens of witnesses saw Michael Brown on his knees begging for his life before Officer Wilson pumped a dozen rounds into the back of his head.

Hood rats lie.

From what I've seen here could well have been one,or more,forms of police negligence involved.Criminal acts? Unlikely.

Once you get into a criminal justice process, pretty much all bets are off when it comes to politics.

I'll cite George Zimmerman and Officer Darren Wilson as perfect examples of this.

The badgelickers should love this idiot woman. I have a feeling the cops are going to skate on most or all the charges while the jury gets the blame and she becomes governor.

That’s been my impression also. The woman was far too prejudiced in her statements, she should have just stopped after discussing the charges. Not only the potential for overcharges reduction but prosecutorial bias and the threats for violence if anyone is acquitted . . .

Tells me these officers can’t get a fair trial anywhere

What a freakin mess

Good point, a point which is lost in the madness. AMERICA IS SICK OF THE MEDIA’S & THE BLACK COMMUNITIES’ IDOLIZATION OF STRONG-ARM ROBBERS & HEROIN DEALERS AS THE NEW MARTIN LUTHER KINGS!!!

If any trail goes outside of Baltimore, chances are great that it will either be if not thrown out, charges reduced.

How many times did she state “No Justice, No peace” in her presser this morning? 10, 12?

She wildly overcharged them and then she put a period on it with the “Our time is now” that is a hard left democrat hashtag on twitter.

Remember back when OJ was cleared in court, blacks in unison cheered in jubilation that he beat the charges of killing the white folks. They couldn’t contain their glee. What do you suppose would be their reaction if these cops beat these charges, and white people rejoiced in jubilation?

that’s funny another witness said he was screaming I can’t breathe I need my inhaler

to paraphrase a fergusonite, ‘yeah, we lied, so what’

someone said something about Grey having back surgery sometime prior to the arrest, but I’m not sure if they’re confusing the surgery he had the day of his arrest (and a week before his death) with something else? anyone know?

There is another comparison. On the day he was acquitted, radio hosts John, and Ken, asked people to drive with their headlights on as a sign of protest. There were a lot of people driving around southern California with their headlights on. So, the civilized residents of Los Angeles were able to carry out a protest, and nothing got looted, or burned.

Yeah, the persecutor prosecutor did the usual "charge-larding".

The Founding Fathers would be embarrassed at the Evil Clown Show that our American "justice" system has become.

Not reading the article but, several friends are pissed at me for suggesting Murder and Depraved are over charging.

I suspect the defendant charged with depraved murder gets off and the others are found guilty for the easier charges...
