10. That's the trouble I have understanding Mosby and her motivations...

She came out hard and strong in the media and the level to which she charged the police was very aggressive.

So far, based on what we now see she has on hand for evidence, she is going to get smoked. Why did she go so hard with so little in ammunition?

Maybe it was just a calculated risk that she would get the lower charged officers to plea out IOT go after the murder charges. As it stands, she just looks incomptent and like a political opportunist.

I think her career is going to take a hard hit.
