Question

What were among the potential conflicts of interest alleged against District Attorney Mosby by the officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray?

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Among the potential conflicts of interest allegations against District Attorney Mosby by the officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray were the following: abuse of process, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, invasion of privacy, and defamation.

We are talking about Attorney of the state of Bañtimore, Marylin J. Mosby, and the case of the Death of Freddie Fray, a 26 years man from Baltimore who died on April 12, 2015, after being arrested by the Baltimore police. He was charged for carrying a knife. Six police officers were suspended after the death of Gray.

Answer 2

Baltimore prosecutors shed new light on their rationale for some of the charges against the officers involved in the death of Freddie Gray, saying in a court filing that Gray had been illegally detained before officers found a knife in his pocket.

In announcing the charges this month, State's Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby said that the folding knife, which police initially described as a switchblade, was not illegal under state law, and so Gray should not have been arrested.

Defense attorneys for the officers who were charged with falsely arresting Gray, 25, have said prosecutors overlooked city law, which they say forbids possession of such a knife. They have used the distinction to argue that the case against the officers was rushed and flawed.

In a response filed Monday, Chief Deputy State's Attorney Michael Schatzow wrote that Gray was detained "well before the arresting officers knew he possessed a knife."
