Standing With Marilyn Mosby

3 CHICS STANDS WITH BALTIMORE STATE’S ATTORNEY MARILYN MOSBY. Don’t think for one minute that there isn’t a coordinated effort to SMEAR SA Mosby, because it is. And it began the moment she took to that podium May 1, 2015.



Police charges in Freddie Gray case are incompetent at best
by Page Croyder
Updated May 5, 2015

An excerpt:

Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s “quick” and “decisive” action in charging six Baltimore police officers a mere two weeks after the death of Freddie Gray reflects either incompetence or an unethical recklessness.

Alan Dershowitz, the noted defense attorney, sharply criticized her for using her charging power as “crowd control.” John Banzahf, a George Washington University law professor, predicted the eventual dismissal of most if not all the charges. The breadth of the charges, Ms. Mosby’s overreaching, is all-too-obvious.

Rush to judgment?

Freddie Gray was a healthy young man the 10 minutes BEFORE he encountered the Baltimore Police Department.
AFTER his encounter with them:
EIGHTY PERCENT OF HIS SPINE WAS SEVERED
and he DIED.

Rush to judgment?

Ms. Mosby’s ‘problem’, it seems to me, with this writer, is that she brought HER OWN INVESTIGATIVE TEAM.

Dershow used to be a good lawyer. He's lost it, somehow.

10. Doesn't Dershowitz have some legal problems of his own he needs to attend to?

He supported torture, 'under certain circumstances'. His opinion means zero.

She absolutely did the right thing and deserves huge credit for that AND support.

She will continue to.

As for Dershowitz, he makes me gag.

We agree again, Sabrina.

I hope others follow her example and start holding these killer cops accountable.

Hopefully this kind of justice, at least the first step will begin to spread.

Clearly the cops are having a hard time accepting being held accountable, like spoiled children. Too bad.

We do agree again, how nice!

I so want her to burn their collective asses.

They are bullies, each and everyone of them. Yup, they are having a hard time accepting accountability. It is time they pay.

Sadly they have become outright murderers on the tax payers dime. When you think about it, PoC pay taxes that fund the PD to profile them, stalk them and murder them. Then said tax payers are funding their trial. How sick is that.

13. The right and people like Alan Dershowitz are upset because she did not use a Grand Jury

Prosecutors is cases involving cops killing blacks love to use a grand jury so that they can exonerate the cop (who would probably be found guilty in a trial with a prosecutor doing their job) and still have the appearance that they did something.

didn't play. Skipped the step that gets them off and lets the Prosecutor off the hook. That took courage.

We need more just like her. Something I've learned from this case. Vote against whoever the Fraternal Order of Police is endorsing. Or at the very least, look at the State's Attorney and District Attorney races very carefully. I want local D.A.'s who are willing to prosecute police.
