All charges dropped in Freddie Gray case; no convictions
Quote
Prosecutors dropped the remaining charges Wednesday against three Baltimore police officers awaiting trial in the death of Freddie Gray, bringing an end to the case without a conviction.

Gray was a black man whose neck was broken while he was handcuffed and shackled but left unrestrained in the back of a police van in April 2015. His death added fuel to the growing Black Lives Matter movement and caused turmoil in Baltimore, including large protests and the worst riots the city had seen in decades.

The decision by prosecutors comes after a judge had already acquitted three of the six officers charged in the case, including the van driver who the state considered the most responsible and another officer who was the highest-ranking of the group.

For the sake of our justice system, prosecutors who abuse their power or otherwise act corruptly need to be punished.

Mosby needs to be disbarred and sued into the welfare line. Her team needs to be disciplined as well for participating in her abuse of power.

Ditto for the Houston DA and her team!

Ditto for CA AG Kamala Harris.

Give them the Nifong treatment.
The same for the Baltimore mayor whose only concern is to give looters, arsonists and rioters plenty of room to ply their trade.
Michael Brown aka "The Gentle Giant" who used his size and "gentleness" to strong arm a convenience store owner for a pack of cigars, had a real winner of a dad,
He could help give Baltimore arsonists enough room to "Burn This Mother Dowm" in the ultimate disco inferno.

Some interesting developments:

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/08/01/law-professor-goes-after-maryland-prosecutor-for-freddie-gray-case.html - This has been anticipated for some time.

Veteran in Mosby's office who objected to continuing prosecution in Gray case quits - This is a new development. 15-year prosecutors don't resign without reason. It suggests either that Mosby has retaliated against Lisa Phelps, or that Phelps has realized that Mosby has transmogrified her department into a base for activism rather than justice. Or both.

http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2016/08/report-leaked-text-messages-demonstrate-mosbys-bad-faith.php - I had heard word of this back when charges were dropped, but it looks like there is substance in this story/rumor. I believe there is a legal term for what was done with Detective Dawnyell Taylor: witness tampering; and, to continue to be blunt, there is another legal term for what Taylor did in giving testimony she knew was incomplete and skewed: Perjury!
