State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s announcement of charges against six officers in connection with the arrest and death of Freddie Gray restored order to Baltimore “before the entire city became an armed camp or was burned to the ground,” her office argued in a new court filing.
Michael Schatzow, Mosby’s top deputy, asked a judge this week to deny a motion by attorneys for the officers asking that the charges against their clients be thrown out because of missteps they say Mosby made.
By charging six police officers in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray, State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby restored order to Baltimore "before the entire city became an armed camp or was burned to the ground," her office argues in a new court filing.
Attorneys for the officers say Mosby's public announcement of the charges tainted the pool of potential jurors for their trial. They have asked a judge to throw the charges out.
But Michael Schatzow, Mosby's top deputy, said her announcement from the steps of Baltimore's War Memorial was appropriate in a city still reeling from a night of riots, arson and looting.
"Mrs. Mosby was trying to calm the crowd, not incite it," Schatzow wrote in a response to the defense motion. "Her repeated pleas for peace while the criminal justice system does its work served a legitimate law enforcement function."
The filing comes during a key week for the case. Prosecutors face a deadline Friday to turn over evidence to defense attorneys and to respond to defense motions that Mosby be removed from the case, that the charges be dismissed and that the case be moved out of Baltimore.
