Bumbling, Biased Baltimore Prosecutor Must Recuse Herself (includes a MUST SEE video)

arrested and where rioting and looting broke out
Justice: Police are right to demand Maryland state prosecutor Marilyn Mosby's recusal from the probe of Freddie Gray's death. She is too biased and incompetent to conduct a fair and impartial prosecution.
'Rarely in the history of any criminal case has a prosecutor so directly maintained so many conflicts of interest," according to a 100-plus-page motion of recusal filed Friday by lawyers for Baltimore police officers whom Mosby hastily charged with killing Gray, a career criminal, while in custody.
They have a strong case against the inexperienced 35-year-old chief prosecutor, the youngest in a major U.S. city:
For starters, Mosby's husband is a Baltimore city councilman representing West Baltimore, where Gray was arrested and where rioting and looting broke out after he died inside a police transport van.
Nick Mosby, who was elected on a campaign against police racism and abuse, had a "personal interest in the need to eliminate the rioting," and she had a political motivation in "accommodating the needs of her husband," the court filing says.
In announcing the criminal charges, Mosby told rioters: "I heard your call for no justice, no peace. To the youth of this city, I will seek justice on your behalf." The rioters cheered the charges.

Two days before her press conference, Mosby vowed to "pursue justice by any and all means necessary," telling the Multicultural Prayer Movement group: "(The criminal justice system) has historically and disproportionately affected so many communities of color, and what we're seeing right now when we turn on the news is that frustration."
The Gray family lawyer, Billy Murphy, is a "close friend, financial supporter and attorney for Mosby," the defense says. Murphy also served on Mosby's transition team after she was elected and represented her regarding a misconduct complaint made against her last year by the Attorney Grievance Commissioner of Maryland.
