[Baltimore] Marilyn Mosby’s Gag Motion Denied After Filing in Wrong Court
Mediaite ^ | 6/9/15 | Ken Meyer

Posted on 06/09/2015 3:01:59 PM PDT by markomalley

Judge Charles J. Peters denied the Baltimore State’s Attorney’s motion on Tuesday for a gag order relating to the prosecution of six officers involved in the arrest of Freddie Gray. Marilyn Mosby‘s request was denied on the grounds that her staff sent the request in the wrong court at the time.

Mosby’s motion was filed in Baltimore’s circuit court on May 14, and was meant to forbid any public disclosure about the Gray case by any witnesses, attorneys and police involved. Peters declared that the motion lacked standing in the proceeding because until the officers’ May 21 indictment, the case was still under the jurisdiction of the District Court.

Prosecution spokeswoman Rochelle Ritchie, refused to say whether the state had any plans to file a new motion. “We’re not going to litigate this case in the media and discuss our trial strategy,” Ritchie said, in line with the gag request’s intended objective.

The attorneys representing the six officers had asked the court to strike the motion on procedural grounds. The Baltimore Sun and several other media outlets also filed motions opposing the order.

This is not the first procedural misstep made by Mosby’s office on this case. Mosby has been the subject of criticism and calls for removal from the case since an incident on May 1, when her office listed the wrong addresses for two of the charged officers, causing a media frenzy when the charges were directed to two people sharing the same names. She has also been described as an inexperienced prosecutor with a greater interest in activism than in the procedures of legal justice.

Other gag orders recently filed by Mosby include a request to block the release of Gray’s autopsy and other “sensitive” documents. The defense team has called this order “unfair”, claiming it would excessively include references made to the sensitive information in documents otherwise deemed non-sensitive.

Keep your eye on this nut. They may be trying to prep a female Obama for a couple to few election cycles from now.

Nothing out of the ordinary here.

Mossy is a very good lawyer equivalent to 0b0z0 and the wookie.

Affirmative action in action for all to see.

There's NO WAY IN HELL any responsible judge would issue a gag order in this case.

But a paid Dim will be found to do just that.

It would appear that Ms. Mosby is somewhere on the left.

If I were one of the officers charged in this case, I would insist that the case remain under her jurisdiction. This is one of those times where the defendant is well-served by a prosecutor who is as dumb as a bag of rocks.

LOL, that's been my theory all along. She's TOO dumb for a DA.

As Sherlock Holmes said, "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

So if she's too dumb to be a DA, but she IS the DA, and her stupidity is helping the defense, while giving her street cred with the angry blacks, then...

...that's what she's doing.
