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.

now here’s some real popcorn time- Al Pacino / John Forsythe-
in “And Justice For All” supposedly filmed in Balto City/ Courthouse/ environs, etc...
Forsythe, a judge is accused of rape
& wants Arthur Kirkland (Pacino) to prove him innocent.
Kirkland finds evidence that all is not true with the judge & has photographic evidence.

I really like it when Kirkland loses it in the courtroom-because, honestly back in the day even when this was filmed in Balto City -it was a good backdrop because our town is full to the corrupt brim.

this clip runs 11mins at the 10:14 mark things get heated
