Baltimore Struggles To Prosecute Felonies As Attorneys Keep Quitting

The Baltimore state’s attorney’s office is facing widespread resignations as it struggles to prosecute the city’s massive backlog of felony cases, multiple sources reported.

The city saw a 24% decline in its number of federal prosecutors over the last three years, according to the office, The Baltimore Sun reported Monday.

“We are reaching a crisis,” said David LaBahn, president of the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys. “For somebody to have 120 active felonies, that is a crushing caseload. If that individual were to try those 120 cases, how many years would that take? That person is working in triage,” he said, according to the Sun.
