Baltimore prosecutors shed new light on their rationale for some of the charges against the officers involved in the death of Freddie Gray, saying in a court filing that Gray had been illegally detained before officers found a knife in his pocket.

Being “Nifonged” is now = being “Mosbyed”.
The prosecutor's office is full of crap. Mosby is the one strutting on stage for publicity and trying to taint the jury pool.

“It is so completely out of line for her to argue her case in the media like this. Very unprofessional. Perhaps it is, perhaps it is not a harbinger of this case blowing up in her face big time.”
This is not arguing the case in the media. This was a court filing, in response to the defense motion to recuse Mosby or dismiss the case.
Gag orders don’t prohibit the parties from filing motions, and oppositions to motions, in court.
