the people of Baltimore voted for me to do my job and to carry out justice and thats what Im going to do.
After announcing charges for the six officers involved in the arrest and ultimate death of Freddie Gray, Maryland State Attorney Marilyn Mosby sat down for an interview with CNNs Don Lemon that will air in full tonight during the 10 p.m. ET hour.
When Lemon told Mosby that its been a tough time for her, in the spotlight and under the microscope, she responded calmly, I dont think its tough.The people of Baltimore voted for me to do my job and to carry out justice and thats what Im going to do as the states attorney for Baltimore city.
As a prosecutor, you should not bring charges if you dont that you have probable cause, that these individuals are responsible for the charges, Mosby added. She stressed that she comes from five generations of law enforcement and understands the time, the commitment, the sacrifice that these police officers make, time away from their families on a day-to-day basis, risking their lives for the benefit of our communities.
But at the same time she said, Those officers that usurped their authority, you have to be able to hold them accountable because it does a disservice to the really hardworking police officers, so for me its about applying justice fairly and accurately to those with or without a badge.
