Marilyn Mosby’s tenure as Baltimore’s chief prosecutor has been an unmitigated disaster for Charm City, highlighted by her persistent refusal to prosecute the guilty. Now, on her way out the door after being deposed by a disgusted electorate, Mosby has one final insult for her beleaguered constituents: freeing a convicted murderer.
Elected in 2014, Mosby was one of the first officials to run on a platform of de-prosecution, decarceration, and demonizing the police. The results were predictable. Homicides in Baltimore rose above 300 murders per year for every year Mosby was in office, a brutally high number for a midsize city; this year may set a new record.
Citizens have fled, with Baltimore’s population dropping by 35,000 people from 2010 to 2020. Now, Mosby is under federal indictment for perjury and submitting false statements in an alleged attempt to swindle the federal government for Covid-19 relief funds to buy a vacation home in Florida.
It’s little wonder that Baltimoreans finally voted her out of office in the 2022 Democratic primary, nominating instead a prosecutor who promises to try to restore order.
With the city reeling and her reputation in tatters, the safest exit strategy for Mosby would have been to wind down her role quietly, hoping that nobody noticed as she skulked off to face her federal charges. Instead, Mosby is reinforcing her de-prosecution credentials, executing on a plan to free Adnan Syed, convicted of killing a teenage girl.
In 2000, a jury convicted Syed of murdering his ex-girlfriend, 18-year-old high-school student Hae Min Lee. Lee was strangled and found buried in a park, a classic domestic violence scenario. Syed had shown Lee’s body to a friend—who testified at trial—and then enlisted the friend to help dispose of the body. Cell-phone tower evidence corroborated that Syed was in the park when the victim was buried.
Glad someone decided to flush the Baltimore toilet. Needs to be flushed regularly but at least mosley and hubby have been sent to the sh*tter.
Who is next? Mayor?
The culture of satan , In expect nothing less from these people
She is one of the main reasons that Baltimore is what it is today. She is a worthless crook and never should have been in that position to begin with.
