Leaked Text Messages Show That Mosby Was Always Going to Charge Cops – No Matter What

Baltimore, MD – Whether it was politics of public pressure, we may never know for sure what led State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby to file charges against six innocent police officers in response to the death of Freddie Gray. For whatever her reasoning was, leaked text messages now show that those charges were going to be filed, regardless of the outcome of the investigation.

The malicious prosecution of the six officers withstood the scrutiny of the Grand Jury. The Grand Jury upheld the charges but they were not provided with all of the factual information on the case. The lead investigator on the case, Detective Dawnyell Taylor, says she was pressured by the prosecutor to provide information from a 4-page typed narrative, which appeared to be intentionally misleading. In an article published in June by The Baltimore Sun, Taylor was quoted as saying, “As I read over the narrative it had several things that I found to be inconsistent with our investigation.” She went on to say that she was handed the pre-printed narrative just prior to testifying at the grand jury.

It is unethical for the prosecution to provide a statement to a witness in a criminal trial, and many cases have been dropped for far less.

If these circumstances alone were not enough to show that Mosby’s office acted maliciously and without merit, we are now learning that leaked text messages exchanged between Detective Taylor and the deputy prosecutor showed her disdain for the information she was forced to present and the prosecutor was not concerned.

Fox News Baltimore conducted an investigation into the circumstances of the acquittals in this case. Prosecutor Mosby placed blame on everyone else for the failure to convict any of the innocent officers.

Detective Taylor’s text message to the Deputy Prosecutor is quoted as saying, “I did not feel comfortable reading that script before we discussed it and I swore to it.  I’m fine with finding the facts but between us, I believe we omitted key things from their combined statements.” 

Allegedly, the deputy prosecutor’s response was, “Understood and you skipped parts of it.” 

Clearly, the truth was not a relevant factor in the decision to prosecute these officers. The prosecution had already decided to do everything within their power to ensure that the officers were prosecuted, even if that meant skewing important facts of the case. These officers lives were supposed to be the next six rungs on the ladder of Mosby’s success. Maybe she should have learned in law school that the world doesn’t work like that.

Thankfully, justice prevailed, the officers who were tried were acquitted, and the remaining cases have finally been appropriately dropped.
