State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby told the newspaper that prosecutors "have a duty to ensure a fair and impartial process for all parties involved" and "will not be baited into litigating this case through the media."
One might say that the Genie is out of the bottle and She's standing there holding the cork. Whatever the autopsy reveals, this leads me to believe it isn't good for her case.

Well when the MSM decides they are going to dictate public opinion there isn't much to be gained by withholding anything.

Reminds me of Nifong and the Duke LaCrosse case.

Two members of the Bloods gang in Baltimore told CNN they are being unfairly blamed by police for the violence.

"What they're trying to do is take the fire and heat off of them," said one gang member, who goes by Bones.

Maybe it's because I haven't had my coffee yet, but reading this article just boils my blood... Apparently there is now a drug epidemic in Baltimore and it's the police department's fault... Certainly not the fault of gentlemen such as the undoubtly upstanding community leader Mr. Bones...

My guess, realization she stepped on her own dink and is now doing her best to attempt damage control. She should have been let go from her job for making such utterly irresponsible and blatantly biased statement as she did in a public venue and if their was a different admin in the White House, I suspect a federal probe would be opened between that and now attempting to prevent damaging evidence to her case from being made public without any legit justification.

Sadly, the irony of the SA being the one to attempt a cover up of the evidence (vs the police who are always accused of a "cover up" when some evidence is delayed for public consumption) will be lost on the public at large who think she's doing the right thing by charging the LEOs.

It would be screams of "cover up, cover up!" if it were the defense or PD doing it of course.

Mosby is what I call a "Media Slut". She's all about whoring herself and her case for attention in the media, but now she wants control of what gets out. That makes me immediately believe there's exculpatory evidence in the autopsy report. As a public servant, he has an oath bound duty to release that exculpatory evidence to the defense and allow them to use it in their favor. She tried those officers in the court of public opinion, so now it's time for her to lie in the bed she made.

Just like Mike Nifong, I don'e expect her to care one bit about her oath. :(

There is obviously something in there She doesn't want hitting the news cycle. I hate to sound like the jaded and world weary curmudgeon I have turned in to; but is there an election between now and the time She would be required to turn that evidence over to the defense?
I am sure if this autopsy shows some extra ordinary evidence that would immediately clear these Officers and She holds on to it for one extra minute, these guys wont either go to trial, or they will be found not guilty.
Of course this would give the Baltimore folks one more excuse to find something new to loot and burn.

She's only been on the job for four months. She ousted her predecessor on the platform that she'd hold the police accountable, so I'd call this her opening salvo against the PD on that campaign promise. It will be interesting to see the ratio change on arrests vs. prosecutions with her as the DA.

Kind of like they are trying to blame all of the this on the Republican Governor who has been in office for 5 months. Don't you know Baltimore girl Nancy Pelosi and Congressman Elijah Cummings who has spent 30 plus years representing Baltimore/Howard County in Congress have nothing to do with the status of Baltimore.

Email from staffer in Balto DA's office ordering cops to patrol area where Freddie Gray fled. The email went on to state "You will be forced to account for your success daily"

The first two minutes of this video is very damning to Mosby's previous comments to the world. For sure she is a bitch!

MD's top court ruled that Officer Porter, whose trial ended in a hung jury, must testify against five other defendants. Then his testimony cannot be used against him in his own retrial.

After making a public spectacle of the indictment, Mosby wanted to suppress exculpatory evidence from the public view (which she failed miserably at). It's still admissible in court, but no one would've heard about it outside of court had she been successful. To be sure they want to alter the rules under which they persecute, err, prosecute these officers. After all, "social" justice demands it! :(

Nevermind arrests vs prosecutions, with such an incompetent DA, I bet "convictions" have fallen to an all time low.

Well if She is, She so far has managed to get the complete effect She sought to achieve. She may be a crappy Attorney, but as far as her political future goes I would say She's following in the footsteps of at least one woman who is now running for POTUS.

I'm just guessing that if I was selling rock and I managed to be a little stoned when I wrapped it swallowing it during an arrest might induce convulsions while I'm riding in the paddy wagon. That's about my odds on explanation of the only reason I could see for her to hide such evidence that an autopsy would show.

An activist Law Professor filed a complaint with the Maryland Attorney Grievance Commission against Mosby regrading her unethical handling of the Freddie Gray prosecution of those Police Officers. In about 2006 he also filed a complaint against the District Attorney in the Duke lacrosse players prosecution which later got that prosecutor disbarred and found guilty of contempt of court.

Here’s a link to the Baltimore news article. Of more interest is the embedded link to the that actual 10 page complaint. Very interesting reading with examples of the lack of honesty and ethics by Mosby.

I have followed Freddie Gray only peripherally, but given that I work at Duke and live in Durham, lived the entirety of the Lacrosse case. The Durham DA started bungling that case day 1. It never should have been brought to trial and it had been 'out' that the DA was being unethical throughout the case.

I would absolutely not be shocked if she gets canned for the same reasons just based on what I have read about the FG case.

Yeah, that seems to cover all political over reach and willful disobedience in regards to the law with what is basically total incompetence, which is of course expected and accepted.
Yeah, I don't know what it might be like to be an innocent Cop locked away in jail in order to appease a Prosecutors ego and political ambitions, but I'm pretty sure it isn't pleasant.
I'm just not sure how She skates on this one, but She likely will and right on up to the next level.

Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby may have dropped criminal charges against the remaining officers in the Freddie Gray trial, but she remains entrenched in a legal battle in civil court.

Five of the six officers charged for the death of Gray are suing Mosby, as well as Maj. Samuel Cogen of the Baltimore Sheriff’s Office, in civil court for a gamut of causes.

In several lawsuits filed earlier this year, Officers William Porter, Edward Nero, Garrett Miller, Lt. Brian Rice, and Sgt. Alicia White alleged defamation, false arrest, false imprisonment, and violation of constitutional rights, among others.

The complaint filed by Porter and White stated that Mosby “made statements for purposes of quelling the riots rather than prosecuting police officers who had committed a crime,” and that Mosby “exceeded her authority” and “brought charges against police officers that were wholly unsupported by evidence and probable cause.”

“These officers were humiliated,” attorney Michael Glass, who represents Porter and White, he told NBC News. “Our position is that the charges were brought for a reason other than prosecuting criminal conduct. There was a political motivation and the charges were not supported by evidence.”



UPDATE:
