In a just nation, it would happen -

An activist law professor with a penchant for weighing in on high-profile legal cases has called for Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby to be disbarred over her prosecution of six city police officers in the Freddie Gray case.
John F. Banzhaf III, a public interest law professor at the George Washington University Law School in Washington, said he intended to mail a full complaint against Mosby to the Maryland Attorney Grievance Commission on Wednesday.
In the written complaint, obtained by The Baltimore Sun, Banzhaf calls Mosby a "runaway prosecutor" who has violated ethics rules governing the conduct of attorneys in Maryland at almost every turn in the case — from the moment she announced the charges against the officers in May 2015 to this week, when her office signaled it would continue pursuing its case against the officers still facing charges despite the full acquittal of two other officers in the last two months.
Mosby never had the evidence to charge the officers, Banzhaf argues, and should have reevaluated her misplaced belief that she did following the acquittals of Officers Edward Nero and Caesar Goodson Jr.

It would be fascinating to know the quantitative and qualitative total fallout from affirmative action, which puts the wrong people in the wrong places all the time. Perhaps the difference before and after this policy is night and day, perhaps it is the difference between a sun shower and a monsoon. How could one ever know such a thing?!
malicious prosecution
As BHO said, punch back twice as hard.
Three down so far, three more to go. Are they going to waste the money and time on trying the others?
She is exhibit number one on the quality of the overcapacity of diploma mill law schools.
This is all about guarantee government loans enabling incompetence.
what do they call a lawyer that finishes dead last in their class??? a lawyer...
only if they pass the bar exam.
true
John Banzhaf was my administrative law professor at George Washington law school in 1977. While he got wacky (he tried to sue Catholic University of America for maintaining separate dormitories for men and women), he was a very good professor and, on a personal basis, very nice to me.
I hope that he is not a member of the Maryland bar; my understanding of ethical complaints/seeking of sanctions against other attorneys is that while an attorney can file a complaint (in DC the appropriate office is the “Office of Bar Counsel”), the complainant cannot go public with the complaint.
It looks like Banzhaf invested a lifetime in his career as a law professor.
His 1960’s activities were chronicled in a chapter of a book written by the former CBS News President Fred Friendly about ‘fairness’ in broadcasting, ‘The Good Guys, The Bad Guys and The First Amendment’.
Banzhaf started his campaign against cigarette ads in the media by demanding “fairness” and “equal time” for anti-smoking messages.
Leni
Can she be impeached, too?
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
If Banzhaf is doing this, it’s hitting the broad side of a barn.
Banzhaf talked about his activism against TV cigarette advertising as a part of his lectures on administrative law.
His father basically smoked himself to death, and John made it his personal mission to go after the tobacco companies. He was (and still is) an expert on and a brilliant practitioner under the federal Administrative Procedure Act. Whether or not you agree with the cases and legal positions he took, you really couldn’t have a better teacher of administrative law than John Banzhaf. I was very lucky indeed.
What concerned Fred Friendly primarily in his First Amendment writings on ‘fairness in broadcasting’ was the chilling effect of ‘fairness regulation’ on the journalism of the mainstream media.
John Banzhaf was making his argument against cigarette ads with a fairness complaint in the mid 1960’s.
Friendly touched on that issue as well as other ‘fairness’ issues including Democrats attacks on ‘right-wing’ broadcasters, the liberal attack on a pro-segregation television station in Mississippi and the Nixon Administration attacks on the liberal media and a radio preacher.
There’s a wealth of experience in Banzhaf’s career and it will be interesting to see where his latest work regarding the Baltimore DA will lead.
I believe this call for disbarment is warranted .
Go and do your research on John Banzhaff @ GWU.
The call to disbarment of Marilyn Mosby speaks volumes .
Balto City is all black run from top to bottom with the exception of some random/stray white man stragglin’ around tryin’ to figure out where to vote..
Morilyn signed on (so to speak) with the full knowledge and backing of her colleagues who are all representative of her own race.
There’s no “white man” running a game on Marilyn-AND HERE
is where she made her biggest mistake-
she egregiously charged these cops from top to bottom as if they were working for the “white man”-pause here now for this.... lil’ old “REV” Al Sharpton had a few comments to say & figuratively speaking Mosby jumps in bed with Sharpton’s National Action Network and Black Lives Matter!.
Who the hell are these two railing against?They have put themselves in high places to sharpen their axe , to grind it more perfectly, it’s all there for the taking & making , yet it is ALWAYS ALWAYS a problem ;
but they are not good stewards-whether it be law & order, the scales of justice, etc...it’s the fekkin’
ETERNAL Bandwagon of Grievance(s).
I have a lot more to say on this but I’m going to cut this posting off here & comment if you like...
I’d like to add more.
No, it’s worse than that- something is awry in the young lady’s brain and methink’s it’soggy.
he sounds like one of the original founding Nanny Staters
