<p>Twenty-five year old Freddie Gray died in police custody shortly following his arrest in April 2015. His death incited months of rioting in Baltimore and helped fuel the then-fledgling Black Lives Matter movement. ;</p>
<p>Maryland State Attorney Marilyn Mosby was <a href="https://punchingbagpost.com/suspicions-fly-after-marilyn-mosby-rashly-accuses-six-baltimore-cops/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>quick to blame Freddie&rsquo;s death on the police officers</strong></a> involved in his arrest and promised to convict six of them two days before the investigation was over. ;</p>
<p>Mosby has since been accused of deceit, misconduct, and fraud &ndash; with more than a few professionals asking that she be disbarred.</p>
<p>The Freddie Gray case dragged on for months, but finally came to a close in July 2016 with zero convictions. This month, a federal judge in Maryland agreed to pursue a lawsuit against Mosby filed by five of the police officers she originally charged with Freddie&rsquo;s death. ;</p>
<p>US District Judge Marvin J. Garbis is allowing claims including &ldquo;malicious prosecution, defamation, and invasion of privacy&rdquo; to move forward against Mosby, reports the ;<em>Baltimore Sun. </em>He has dismissed claims of ;false imprisonment, false arrest, and abuse of process.</p>
<p>Judge Garbis found that &ldquo;while Marilyn Mosby said that she enjoyed absolute immunity as a prosecutor from being sued for her actions that because she has acted as an independent investigator in this case, that that was open to more scrutiny,&rdquo; explains Justin Fenton of the <em>Baltimore Sun.</em></p>
<p>Garbis&rsquo; ruling is likely to favor the plaintiffs, and the decision may lead to the deposition of Mosby and key staff members.</p>
<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re looking forward to the depositions and learning about what really happened,&rdquo; said David Ellin, one of the attorneys representing the police officers. &ldquo;We think the discovery process will really allow us to flesh out many things.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>Ellin predicts the ruling will be appealed to the fourth circuit and may even make it to the Supreme Court. &ldquo;The ramifications of this care are huge, and nationwide,&rdquo; said Ellin.</p>
<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s note:</strong> This is the woman who decided these police officers were guilty before the investigation was completed. Her assertions of their guilt that fueled the riots and she shares a large portion of the ;responsibility for the damage ;that was done.</p>
<p>Mosby ;had no business being in the position she was in, her biases should have disqualified her.  ;If she is indeed found guilty of misconduct, then all of her cases will have to be reviewed. Her lack of integrity is an embarrassment to the city of Baltimore.</p>
