State’s Atty rules Freddie Gray’s death a homicide; all 6 cops charged

Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced “probable cause” to file charges against six officers in the death of Freddie Gray.

The charges range from second degree murder to manslaughter and assault.

“We have probable cause to file criminal charges,” she said in a speech Friday that sounded more like an Al Sharpton rally than an official government announcement.

“The knife was not a switchblade and it is lawful.” she said adding that officers “failed to establish probable cause for an arrest.”

She said that her office’s investigation coupled with the medical examiner’s report ruling Gray’s death a homicide led her to the decision.

“To the youth of this city, I will seek justice on your behalf — this is your moment,” Mosby declared.

With a mayor who declared “We will get justice for Freddie Gray,” and a husband who participated in the protests,  the move by Mosby came as no surprise.

Mosby’s smirk at the end of the press conference begs the question will she serve as prosecutor or persecutor?
