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.

That was what she implied on "The Toady Show" this morning,but not exactly what she said.

The knife was "legal" if there was no probable cause for the search. That's the horse she is riding.

That is NOT what she "implied"....that is what she said and what the police report confirmed:

Hard to believe they're legal. A switchblade has a button (switch) on the handle. A spring assisted knife has a stud on the blade.

I saw this video earlier, along with some others on youtube showing the same thing.

It is amazing that the spring loaded can be opened as quickly as the switchblade.

The law should have permitted a folding knife that takes two hands to open. That was the intent of the legislation.

Instead, they ban "switchblades", leaving a loophole you can drive a truck through, and permitting gravity/inertia knives and spring-assist knives.
