Baltimore prosecutors say Freddie Gray’s arrest was illegal before police officers found a knife on him, challenging claims by the officers’ lawyers that the arrest was proper because it was illegal for Mr. Gray to possess the knife.
The statements in court papers mark the first time prosecutors have elaborated on their view of Mr. Gray’s arrest since Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced charges against six officers in Mr. Gray’s death on May 1.
A charging document filed May 1 “makes clear that Mr. Gray was arrested well before the arresting officers knew he possessed a knife,” Chief Deputy State’s Attorney Michael Schatzow wrote in court papers filed Monday, suggesting the legality of the knife isn’t key.
“Mr. Gray was handcuffed at his surrendering location, moved a few feet away, and placed in a prone position with his arms handcuffed behind his back, all before the arresting officers found the knife,” Mr. Schatzow wrote.
you know this was an important point with me all along. and, it just sent me into a rage because none of the idiots in the MSM ever asked the question – what were the charges against Mr. Gray.
NONE OF THEM
They scrambled hard to find something but they kept coming up empty. Can you imagine how many victims the police have murdered and framed after the fact, because there weren’t any videos to contradict police lies and cover-up?

I’m so proud of Ms Mosby!
I do believe Ms Mosby has a few aces and surprises up her sleeves for these corrupt officers and their FOP.
I like your play list on the side. Nice addition.
