Alan Dershowitz really went after Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby today for charging the six cops involved in the death of Freddie Gray, saying it was entirely based on politics and “crowd control.”

Dershowitz lamented that “this is a very sad day for justice” and told Steve Malzberg that Mosby acted out of a “desire to prevent riots.” It will be “virtually impossible,” he predicted, for the six officers involved to get a fair trial.

And as for murder charges, Dershowitz said there’s “no plausible, hypothetical, conceivable case for murder” and “this is a show trial.” He predicted that Mosby might get removed as prosecutor and Baltimore citizens may get upset if and/or when they “move to a place with a different demographic.”

He concluded that it’s “unlikely they’ll get any convictions in this case” and if they do they’ll likely “be reversed on appeal.”

I'm sure they will get some low level convictions and some high dollar civil judgements against them. There is no denying that officers arrested without probable cause... and then violated policy by not seat belting this turd inside the transport vehicle... and then dragged their feet getting him medical attention for his self inflicted injuries.

All six are fuked... and so will Mosby's career after the DA doesn't hit the home run that racist set up today.

Toxicology report shows evidence of heroin and marijuana, further, he was observed making a drug sale.

Show me a case were possession IN THE BLOODSTREAM is chargeable for possession. One case where a conviction was upheld... even after appeal.

Secondly, a drug deal without evidence? Where's the other half of the transaction? Without the other half and no drugs found on the deceased... where's the PC? Kinda thin, isn't it?

The false arrest is apparently due to a police report on the arrest that they initially went after the perp solely because he averted his eyes from the police.

That seems to be the entire basis for the D.A. to allege false arrest, not that the perp didn't have a switchblade.

Negative. Listen to the States Attorney from 10:30 this morning. She made it clear that the knife was legal and the arrest was unsubstantiated.

Well, as usual, most of the early reporting on a high profile police case turns out to be totally false.

This looks worse and worse for the cops. No probable cause, no switchblade, dead suspect with an near-severed spinal cord (not easy to do). And now it seems the paddy wagon made an extra stop before it got to the police station but everyone involved forgot until now about the extra stop by the wagon.

They were screwed when he died of injuries not that they caused but while in their custody. Once cuffed, the turd bag is all YOUR responsibility... plain and simple. Liability, it's a bitch.

You have no idea when the injuries happened. It will be argued they occurred during the arrest.

By the sounds of Mosby's "independent witch hunt" the injury happened inside the transport vehicle BETWEEN STOPS and without an officer present.

I have inside Intel that stated it was self inflicted inside the van and while not being secured. A prisoner original testified it was self inflicted... and then realized he would be famous if he changed his testimony or statement.

If Mosby had any proof Gray was hurt during the arrest, she would have stated that today. Their case is gonna be a "rough ride" caused Gray to be thrown around the inside of the paddy wagon.

You're giving this affirmative action, 36-y/o, probably never tried a murder case before attorney way too much credit. She's a radical hater who is driven by the Obama/Holder/Sharpton agenda, not fact. I have complete confidence in Dershowitz. This case is a rush to judgement.

With the evidence so far, I agree. That would justify a charge of involuntary manslaughter being brought against the driver. But murder?
