This is kinda funny...to me anyways....
"" BALTIMORE — Lawyers for six Baltimore
police officers charged in the death of Freddie
Gray demanded the removal of the city's top
prosecutor from their case on Tuesday, saying
she was the one who asked for "enhanced"
police attention at the intersection where they
encountered the young black man.
An email sent to police weeks before Gray died
from the spinal injury he suffered in police
custody shows State's Attorney Marilyn
Mosby has a conflict of interest, the attorneys
argued, because she had wanted police to
target North Avenue and Mount Street, the
intersection in West Baltimore where Gray ran
from police on April 12.
The defense motion filed Tuesday says Mosby
"is now an integral part of the story ... both
as an advocate and a witness."
Officers caught up to Gray two blocks away,
restrained him and put him in a police van
that made several stops before reaching the
station roughly 45 minutes later. By then, he
was unresponsive, and died after a week in a
coma.
Mosby charged the officers May 1 with crimes
ranging from misdemeanor assault to second-
degree "depraved-heart" murder. Mosby also
said Gray's arrest was illegal because officers
handcuffed him prior to discovering the knife
that became the basis for the charges.
On March 17, Joshua Rosenblatt, division
chief of Mosby's crime strategies unit, emailed
Police Cmdr. Osborne Robinson, saying
"Mosby asked me to look into community
concerns regarding drug dealing in the area of
North Ave. and Mount St."
In the email, Rosenblatt praised earlier police
efforts there, and said "we'd like to build on
that success by targeting that intersection for
enhanced prosecutorial (and hopefully police)
attention."
Robinson forwarded Rosenblatt's email on
March 20 to his lieutenants, including Brian
Rice, who is charged with reckless
endangerment, assault and misconduct in
office in Gray's death, and said he would be
monitoring their results.
"You will conduct a daily narcotics initiative
addressing North and Mount St. Your units
need to utilize the cameras, activate/develop
informants, conduct covert, etc.," Robinson
wrote. "This is effective immediately."
A spokeswoman for Mosby, Rochelle Ritchie,
declined comment Tuesday, saying "we will
litigate this case in the courtroom and not in
the media."
In other recent action on the case, Judge
Charles Peters on Thursday turned down
Mosby's request for a gag order that would
have barred attorneys, police and witnesses
from talking about the case publicly.""
