Alan Dershowitz Rips Charges Against Baltimore Cops: ‘Sad Day for Justice’ [View all]

Alan Dershowitz really went after Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby today for charging the six cops involved in the death of Freddie Gray, saying it was entirely based on politics and “crowd control.”

Dershowitz lamented that “this is a very sad day for justice” and told Steve Malzberg that Mosby acted out of a “desire to prevent riots.” It will be “virtually impossible,” he predicted, for the six officers involved to get a fair trial.

Continued at the link where he says, among other things that "if she does win, she'll be reversed on appeal"
