An email has surfaced as part of a defense motion to recuse Baltimore State Attorney Marilyn Mosby. The email is from Mosby’s office in the weeks just prior to the arrest of Freddie Gray.
In the March email Mosby is specifically asking the Baltimore police to target the exact intersection where Freddie Gray was apprehended – and work on eliminating increased drug activity. (Via Baltimore Sun)
[…] “It must be understood that Mrs. Mosby was directing these officers to one of the highest crime intersections in Baltimore City and asking them to make arrests, conduct surveillance, and stop crime,” the defense attorneys wrote. “Now, the State is apparently making the unimaginable argument that the police officers are not allowed to use handcuffs to protect their safety and prevent flight in an investigatory detention where the suspect fled in a high crime area and actually had a weapon on him.” (link)
The email was sent from Joshua Rosenblatt, division chief of Mosby’s Crime Strategies Unit to Baltimore Police Major Osborne Robinson.
The most damning part of the communication is from Major Osborne Robinson to his police officers informing them of the State Attorney expectation. (more…)
