Baltimore Fraternal Order of Police Call on Marilyn Mosby to Recuse Herself From Freddie Gray Case

[erpowers]

A Fraternal Order of Police lodge is asking Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby to appoint a special prosecutor to the Freddie Gray investigation because of her personal connection to the Gray family's attorney, William H. "Billy" Murphy Jr., and her marriage to a city councilman..

The letter from Gene Ryan, president of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 3, also states that none of the six officers involved in Gray's arrest and death were responsible for the 25-year-old West Baltimore man's death that spurred protests and unrest, including rioting and looting on Monday. The letter was released just minutes before Mosby announced charges against the officers.

"Not one of the officers involved in this tragic situation left home in the morning with the anticipation that someone with whom they interacted would not go home that night," the letter states. "As tragic as this situation is, none of the officers involved are responsible for the death of Mr. Gray."

"These conflicts include your personal and professional relations with Gray family attorney, William Murphy, and the lead prosecutor's connections with members of the local media," the letter states. "Based on several nationally televised interviews, these reporters are likely to be witnesses in any potential litigation regarding this incident."

Murphy supported Mosby during her campaign last year. He donated $5,000 to her campaign and served on her transition committee.

1. Here it comes. Every effort to smear her.

[bravenak]

2. +1

6. After reading her bio, I don't think they are

gonna get very far with that. She has the kind of background most law firms drool over in private practice. And she's whip-smart to boot.

[Katashi_itto]

9. Agree! But it won't stop them, remember the media is on their side.

[longship]

13. I don't think so.

Marilyn Mosby (née Jones) rolled an 18 on her intelligence, wisdom, and charisma dice.

The FOP can suck eggs.

Plus, I think that there is no fucking way she has such very specific charges so quickly unless one or more of those six charged cops are talking. And Mosby is way too smart to let on if that's true or who they might be. But those very specific charges did not come out of left field.

14. Good points all!

3. no. not going to happen

4. Bite my shiny metal ass, kkkopper.

Jayzus.

5. the guy just mysteriously died with no connection whatsoever with police interaction? nt

[hifiguy]

7. Well,

He's as credible as the cops are in this case.

8. And if that's not bad enough ...

her cousin's neighbor's barber once rode an elevator with Freddie Gray.


OMFG

10. Maybe they should just FUCK OFF

[Kber]

11. Someone's scared

Clearly the case is on the right hands.

12. Someone's scared

Clearly the case is on the right hands.

15. "none of the officers involved are responsible for the death of Mr. Gray"

in other words, they know more than state's attorney. bullshit.

they should be calling for fair trials and nothing more.

[davidpdx]

17. Exactly

To claim they had nothing to do with his death before any evidence has been put forth is stupid. They are basing their statements solely on what the officers said. It's a bully move to try to run the prosecutor off and based on what I've read about Mosby it won't work.

16. The FOP is running scared.

Rand Paul and Mike Lee must make them uncomfortable. The police could always count on the right to back them up. No more.
The left has united for law/prison reform, any many on the right are on board.
