Prosecutor in Freddie Gray case: I'm not anti-police
CNN ^ | July 27, 2016 | Ray Sanchez and Dana Ford

(CNN)Shortly after being elected last year, Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby said prosecutors like her in the troubled city had the "toughest job in America."

It's not getting any easier.

After three Baltimore police officers were acquitted in recent months of charges related to last year's high-profile death of Freddie Gray, prosecutors announced Wednesday they were dropping all charges against the three remaining officers facing trial in connection with Gray's death.

The news was a defeat for Mosby, who had announced the charges against the six officers in May 2015 -- four months after she took the job as the city's top prosecutor. At the time she drew praise from some who admired how swiftly she took on the case, and criticism from others who said there wasn't enough evidence to convict the officers.

“I’m not anti-police, I’m merely pro-thug.” That’s more like it. BTW, where did she get her law degree and prosecutorial training anyway? FAIL!

A stint in prison might wipe that smug, idiotic, arrogant, ignorant sneer off her face.

Not anti-police? That is a pretty nuanced response.

Even Herself couldn’t manage to make a straddle like that.

Take the Current Occupant off the speaking list for tonight and put on Marilyn Mosby. Her intentions were of the highest order, even if the results were abysmal.

She said she just wanted “justice” - but if that was the case why did she engage in so much unethical behavior which she was called out on by the judge including withholding exculpatory evidence?

Nah, she just couldn't let an opportunity to advance her hack "career" go to waste, and she chose to be on side opposite that of law-abiding citizens.

She chose poorly.

This yob was complaining because defendants chose to have a judge hear their cases. She thought that was unfair.

Guess she really does want to be disbarred

People into lynching tend to do stuff like that.

Her problem is that she prosecuted the LEO’s at a street mob rally before she had any idea of what the true facts were.

Wow. A person with a law degree making statements about something they don’t have all the facts on? Sounds familiar to me. But I can find no motive for anyone making such statements. :)
