Maryland State's Attorney and chief prosecutor, Marilyn Mosby, made groundbreaking headlines on the morning of Friday, May 1. For those who missed it, Mosby's shocking press conference included details about the controversial death of Freddie Gray and the announcement of charges being brought against six Baltimore police officers.
Although local citizens were elated about the step toward justice for Gray, there are some people who aren't too pleased with the decisions being made. Now, Mosby is being scrutinized due to a number of factors regarding her personal life.
According to the Daily Mail, Baltimore defense attorney Warren Brown recently shared his concerns about Mosby's orders, because he feels there are a number of questionable factors that may have contributed to the decision to charge the officers. Brown expressed concerns about Mosby's close relationship with Baltimore attorney, William "Billy" Murphy.
Apparently, Murphy is Mosby's mentor, but he's also the attorney representing Freddy Gray's family. It has also been reported that Murphy was one of the largest contributors for Mosby's campaign, which took place four months ago.
"These conflicts include your personal and professional relations with Gray family attorney, William Murphy, and the lead prosecutor's connections with members of the local media."Based on several nationally televised interviews, these reporters are likely to be witnesses in any potential litigation regarding this incident."
