Can someone put a restraining order on marilyn mosby*? Isn\’t there some kind of law to prevent State Attorneys from making impossible fools of themselves while simultaneously screwing accused, thus presumed innocent until guilty, parties every way they can in a one-way battle?
Excerpted from Luke Broadwater\’s article in Friday\’s Baltimore Sun:
Baltimore prosecutors are seeking a gag order to prevent lawyers from speaking to the media about the Freddie Gray case.
Mosby held a news conference earlier this month to announce the charges, stating that Gray\’s death is “believed to be the result of a fatal injury that occurred while Mr. Gray was unrestrained by a seatbelt in the custody of the Baltimore Police Department wagon.” Reading from charging documents, she repeated two themes: that the handcuffed and leg-shackled Gray was never secured by a seatbelt in the police wagon against police policy, and that officers ignored repeated appeals for medical help from Gray.
The six officers who have been charged are Officer Caesar R. Goodson Jr., 45; Officer William G. Porter, 25; Lt. Brian W. Rice, 41; Sgt. Alicia D. White, 30; Officer Edward M. Nero, 29; and Officer Garrett E. Miller, 26.
Each face multiple charges. Goodson faces the most serious charge — second-degree depraved heart murder, a felony that carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison. All six are charged with second-degree assault, a misdemeanor that carries a maximum penalty of 10 years.
On Friday, White\’s attorney, Ivan Bates, released a joint statement from lawyers for the six officers urging Mosby to release evidence in the case before seeking a gag order.
Got that?
mosby is happy to try these police officers in the media at will – complete with the al sharpton “no justice, no peace” mantra, as if he were some kind of mentor to her (which, if she is a Black supremacist, anti-Semitic serial tax cheat and deadbeat, does make sense).
But she is just as happy to do whatever she can to prevent them from defending themselves in front of the same people she is singlehandedly convicting them to.
That stinks worse than the back of a crabhouse, two weeks into a summer garbage strike.
marilyn mosby may have won last year\’s election for the position she now holds, but is making it clear that she is about the last person in the world who should be holding it. Her actions should sicken any person who cares about justice to the bottom of his/her stomach.
If there is a way to remove her from office, I support the effort, starting this second.

*I am no longer capitalizing marilyn mosby\’s name. Capitalization denotes a title of respect…and I have none for her.
