“I do believe with this case they are on for the whole ride unless MD law provides that a judge can somehow dismiss such a charge prior to trial.”
A judge can dismiss the charges in a pre-trial hearing on the evidence. These charges each have conditions, and if they are not met, they cannot stand.
Not a supporter of the police?
LOL!
Unless it`s a black Judge and pal of the Prosecutor.
That’s something I notice the police don’t do anymore when there is a riot. Why is that?
What kind of hearing are you talking about? Certainly at a pre trial hearing on the admissability of evidence a judge can suppress evidence on a constitutional basis which generally effectively ends the prosecution. I'm not sure what type of other pre trial hearing allows a judge to rule on the merits of the evidence other than an arraignment where a judge can decide whether the facts offered by the state would constitute the crime charged if true. However, some states do provide for pre trail hearings to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to more forward but not the majority.
As expected. Eventually all charges will be dropped and an investigation into this prosecutor will commence.
Mosby dropped the disguise of Attorney for the State, playing Community Organizer, to please the mob of thugs, overcharging and overpromising.
Turning to widely scattered glass and debris in the morning...
Remember when the usual handful on here wanted Zimmermann done?
Remember when the usual handful on here wanted the officer in Ferguson done?
Remember when the usual handful on here wanted the cops in NY city done for say they chocked the guy?
Now we have the usual handful yet again wanted these cops done. They and many of us know who they are.
Why not wait until all the evidence comes out first and lets make a decision then.
“Certainly at a pre trial hearing on the admissability of evidence a judge can suppress evidence on a constitutional basis which generally effectively ends the prosecution. “
I guess that’s what I was trying to convey. I suppose that the judge can’t direct the prosecutor to dismiss the charges, but he does that de facto by ruling on the admissibility of the evidence. And I will bet that he can also have a “discussion in chambers” and “recommend” a course of action to the prosecutor.
;-)
Some of the “victims of white privilege” didn’t get new Xboxes or TV’s last time.
“Eventually all charges will be dropped and an investigation into this prosecutor will commence.”
It may already be in the works:
Mosby has already sowed the seeds of her own destruction.
Agreed, I personally think they are all innocent.
On the contrary, the move was to INCREASE the unrest. I'm betting the prosecutor/prostitutor knew good and well that the charges wouldn't hold up, thereby fanning the flames of "victimhood."
I think that sounds like a bit of a stretch ... But then, who knows these days?
Oh, it is a win-win for this Leftist witch. She gets to garner support from the parasites for her anti-whitey action, and then, when a grand jury refuses to indict, she gets to juice the parasites up for more rioting and destruction.
Mosby had tried exactly 36 cases while working for an insurance company. She has never tried a murder case.
If they have a Probable Cause hearing, the judge may throw the charges out. She has to either have a PC hearing or a grand jury within 30 days.
