Freddie Gray officers suing prosecutor Marilyn Mosby
CNN Commie News ^ | July 28, 2016

Posted on 07/28/2016 9:05:37 AM PDT by Navy Patriot

Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby is going from prosecutor to civil defendant in connection with the case of the death of Freddie Gray.

On Wednesday, Mosby announced that charges against three officers still facing trial were being dropped. Mosby gave only a statement, but had to leave without taking questions because five of the officers in the case have filed lawsuits against her.

Officers Garrett Miller, Edward Nero and William Porter as well as Sgt. Alicia White and Lt. Brian Rice are suing Mosby and Maj. Samuel Cogen of the Baltimore Sheriff's Office. Cogen was the law enforcement officer who filed charging documents against the officers.

Cogen looks a “little light in the loafers!” Hope they get him too.

Great news...but it’s my understanding that it’s very,*very* difficult for an exonerated defendant to successfully sue a prosecutor.

How many prosecutors have you seen sued? How many lawyers have you seen sued when they have had cases overturned for inept representation. Folks you need to realize who runs America, it is lawyers. They are a fraternity and they run this country from beginning to end and they serve only themselves!
You have heard of the so called Blue Wall of Silence.Just look at what the Clinton’s have done and got away with over the years. No lawyers testifies against another. They are the law unto self!

Agreed. However, Malicious Prosecution suits are hard to plead and prove. That being said I hope the policemen “CLEAN HER CLOCK!” B*tch!

I have seen tons of lawyers sued for negligent representation. Prosecutors - not so much. They generally enjoy a limited immunity and such suits are very difficult.

All Grand Jurys are “misleading” in that only one side gets shown and generally without showing exculpatory evidence which is not generally required. Unless false evidence was knowingly presented to the grand jury the fact a grand jury returned an indictment makes a civil suit even more difficult. Again, it seems to me the sharpest arrow in the plaintiff’s quiver was when the state held back the exculpatory evidence at the trial level. You gotta disclose that Brady material.

How about after the first prosecution failed to win a conviction yet continue to prosecute the rest...

They finally gave up but could have done that sooner.

Will be a delight to see “hood rat” Mosby squirm as justice is served on her. Praise the Lord and God bless the cops!

You gotta disclose that Brady material.

It seems that both these criteria were violated by Mosby, records and expert witnesses, not hostile to the Cops, are available to prove that.

Everyone knows that you can indict a ham sandwich, so that is not the point and won't have a bearing on this action.

It will be Mosby's actions and statements in front of the Grand Jury and press that will be considered.

If the Judge agrees that Mosby's conduct comprises entry into Law Enforcement conduct, her Prosecutorial Absolute Immunity will be modified to Law Enforcement's Qualified Immunity by that Judge.

With only Qualified Immunity, she will be at risk considering both your criteria have been met by both police and Grand Jury record.

As Mosby's support wanes, (and it will), the likelihood of consequences grows for her.

It's possible, read on down the thread.

Nifong had the same immunity, and the only thing they didn't do to him was jail.
