Law Professor: Baltimore Officers Were Overcharged, Charges Will Likely Be Dismissed
2015-05-02
[Daily Caller] Charges filed against the six Baltimore police officers for their involvement in the death of Freddie Grey will be dismissed, a George Washington University law professor predicted in an interview with The Daily Caller.

John Banzhaf, who teaches public interest law, says that the charges announced by Baltimore state's attorney Marilyn Mosby on Friday "go too far."

"I think a prosecutor is going to have a hard time proving that the actions did in fact cause death, since they seem to have no theory as to how it occurred," Banzhaf said in a phone interview.

Gray was arrested on April 12 after a foot chase with police. He was transported in a police van to a processing center, where he was found unresponsive. He was then taken to a hospital, where he underwent surgery.

#2  Doesn't matter. If the police officers - especially the white officers - do not receive the maximum penalty, you are going to see riots all over the country. The mob is not looking for "justice". They are looking for revenge.

#1  Sure sounds like Mosby was trying to get "street cred" by playing to the crowd. She also has some entanglements with financial supporters that should be reason for recusal from the case. The Gray family has been said to have donated the max. to Mosby for her election.
