Baltimore’s Freddie Gray Case Against Cops May Have Just Blown Up With 2 HUGE Claims

Baltimore State’s prosecutor, Marilyn Mosby, may have a huge problem, if not an explosive scandal, on her hands if defense claims in just-filed court papers prove to be true.

The Baltimore Sun reports that defense attorneys for the “Baltimore Six” police officers charged by Mosby’s office in the Freddie Gray case have raised serious questions about whether the prosecution has properly turned over relevant evidence that could exonerate their clients.

The most shocking defense claim brought to the attention of the court on Thursday, according to the newspaper account, is that Mosby’s office is intentionally withholding “information indicating that Freddie Gray ‘attempted to injure himself’ during a previous arrest.”

Gray died in April after suffering a severe spinal cord injury, supposedly while being transported in a police van. Six officers who were involved face charges that range from misconduct to second-degree murder. The prosecution’s case against the six rests largely on the belief that Freddie Gray suffered his fatal injury because of police misconduct.

The newspaper report says the bombshell the defense just dropped could undermine the case that Mosby has prominently put herself out in front of since day one:

In their filing Thursday, the defense attorneys said prosecutors have withheld “multiple witness statements from individuals who stated that Mr. Gray was banging and shaking the van at various points” after his arrest April 12, as well as “police reports, court records, and witness statements indicating that on prior occasions, Mr. Gray had fled from police and attempted to discard drugs.”
