The acquittal of Baltimore City police officer Caesar Goodson in the Freddie Gray case has led to a flurry of speculation as to whether state's attorney Marilyn Mosby will continue the prosecutions of Goodson's fellow officers, having so far lost two of three (with hung jury in the other). The speculation is misplaced. These trials are political, not legal in nature. Were Mosby a competent and ethical prosecutor, she would have never brought the cases. If she drops charges against the remaining officers she will be ruined politically, and she is not about to let ethical or legal scruples guide her now.
Mosby pursued the prosecutions out of purely political motivation from the start, in the wake of Gray's death and the riots that followed, absurdly taking the side of the rioters rather than of the law-abiding citizens of the city. The officers were charged before a thorough inquiry into Gray's death could be completed by professional police investigators, and instead went forward based mostly on the biased and cursory work of Mosby's own office. Since that time, Mosby and her prosecution team have repeatedly tried to hide evidence uncovered during their investigation, in clear violation of their legal and ethical duties.

Mosby: The “new and improved” Nifong.
She’s got a Senate seat to win.
Life imitates art? Bonfire of the Vanities.
reminds me of the duke lacrosse case.....they know damn well that those cops didn’t break his neck. all the piece of cr.. had to do was stop thrashing.
Well, that’s her choice. She wanted to be down for the struggle, or whatever they call it nowadays. She wanted to prove that she was on the side of the Black Lives Matter idiots.
In a just world, Marilyn Mosby would be pulling a plow.
Well, in reality she demonstrates a typical lack of intelligence and impulse control.
Show Trials
We have seen “Show Trials” at least since the early 20th Century. The Fascist, The Nazis, The Communists, every Dictator and Banana Republic have all held “Show Trials” usually in order to prove the superiority of the state or the current strongman. Now they have come here. Thank Lynden Johnson and his version of “civil rights”. But he was right about one thing. They will be voting Democrat for the next 100 years.
In a just world she would never work as an attorney again and be disbarred immediately. In a just world...
She will not be ruined politically. She will go down in flames on this wave of prosecutions but her leftist buddies will raise her to new heights because she stood against The Man.
The guilty verdict is not necessarily what they’re shooting for, just the onerous, taxing process. That’s enough.
I hope the only result of these trials are huge lawsuits against the city and the state’s attorney.
for emotionalist libtards it’s the good intentions that make them feel good inside that matter, not whether their actions are just or rational.
Can those, now proven wrongly accused, file a lawsuit?
Winner! Mosby, in a rational world would drop the remaining cases. Her career in anything involving integrity is done. So the Senate is probably her new career ambition. Good catch.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
