These charges included second degree ‘murder, manslaughter, assault, misconduct in office, and fas imprisonment? The charges were based upon events which occurred on April 12,2015. In unprecedented det, the State's Attorney read word for word the Statement of Probable Cause tothe public, Near the conclusion of her ‘ress conference, Mrs, Mosby herself directed a “message” to the world: “To the people of Baltimore andthe demonstrators across America, heard your cll for ‘no justice no peace’ Your peace is sincerely needed as I work o deliver justice onbebalfof his young man...

The Maryland Rules of Professional Conduct outline the manner bby which sttomays must porport themselves in the egal arena. Specifically there are special rules regarding the manner by which prosecutors must conduct themselves and rules governing conflicts coftnterest! In Maryland, we hold prosecutors to a higher standard fora reason ~an individual's ‘constitutional sights hang inthe balance and the prosecutor must uphold those rights, even in the face of political and personal pressures, For the reasons discussed below, each ofthese principles outlined above have been egregiously violstod by the State's Attomey for Baltimore City Rarely in the history of any criminal ease has a prosecutor so directly maintained so many conflicts of interest, Rarer still are instances where such clear conflicts exists and a prosecutor steadfastly refuses to recuse him or herself’ These conflicts include the following: (1) the seizing ‘of politcal and personal gain by Mrs. Mosby and her husband; (2) personal relationships with individuals who will be witnesses a trial; (3) the role of her office asthe “investigators” for this case; (4) the pending civil claim against Mrs. Mosby and her office; and (5) the financial interest of the attorney for the family of Freddie Gray, a close fiend, financial supporter and attorney for Mas. Mosby. ‘There is no better evidence demonstrating these conflicts than the charging documents themselves. At best, the charges levied agninst these officers are extraordinary prosecutorial overreaching. At worst, they are something far more nefarious. 4 See, e: MD. B. C15 J.

Mosby responded, ar” Tnerview with Doa Lemon, CNN (Mey 1, 2015. 3 ‘The conflicts presented by the State's Attomey's Office are doep, are real, and are imminent. ‘This motion is being filed at this junction because the Defendants have grave concems about the charging decisions which will be made inthe near future and thir ability to receive due process ofthe law. Before ths case proceeds further, the Defendants would respectfully request this Honorable Court to recuse the State's Attomey and either dismiss the case, such that an independent prosecutor, appointed by the court can make any further charging decisions, or appoint an independent prosecutor to decide how the case should proceed. FACTS ‘The salient facts of this Motion will be set forth in further detail inthe Argument section ofthis Motion, However, a brief overview of the facts surrounding this incident is necessary to set the appropriste stage. (On May 1, 2015, a Major from the Baltimore City Sheriff's Department signed, underoath, an Applicaton for Statement of Charges against each of the above-referenced individuals. The charges ranged from second degree murder to a myriad of misdemeanor offenses, The charges all, relate to the alleged apprehension of Freddie Gray on April 12,2015. Itis apparently the position of the State's Attomey’s Ofice thatthe original investigating officers lacked probable cause to arrest Mr. Gray, asthe knife for which he was arested was “lawful under Maryland law.” (See “Attached Exhibit 1, Statement of Probable Cause against Garrett Miller; itis believed that this Statement is identical for each of the Defendants). No allegation of force was alleged in the ‘charging documents. tis not the position or averment of the State that any police officer beat Mr. Gray, or used excessive force upon him. Rather, itis simply the postion of the State's Attorney ‘thatthe original arest was unlawful, asthe knife was “lawful under Maryland law” (emphasis added) and thatthe ensuing events ({.e, not seat belting Mr. Gray and not providing him with ‘medical assistance) flowed from the unlawful acest, OF significance to this Motion, there ‘was one individual inthe back ofthe van with Mr, Gray dving a portion ofthe events, Donta Alten, Unfortunately forthe Stale Mr. Gray wasnt erected and charged with violating Maryland law. Rather, Officer Garrett Mille rested and charged Mr. Gray with violating Section 19.59.22 of the Baltimore City Code. It should be noted that the City Code is far broader in its prohibitions than Maryland law. This pivotal distinction was omited from the Statement of Charges sworn out by the Sherf’s Department. This distinction was similarly ited from the Statement of Probable Cause rea to the cameras by Mrs, Mosby. Iin fc, the aie was unlawful or one was reasonable in abedit that it was, the foundation ofthe Sates argument collapses. If the knife was actully legit stands to reason thatthe very people who charged these Ofiers would then be guily of false imprisonment of each ofthe OfficerDefendant, by vite ofthe logic employed inthe Site's charging decisions. It should be noted that counsel for Defendants Miller and Nero (the two officers with pending District Court tril dates) have requested to see the actual knife on multiple occasions. Each ofthese requests have been denied. (On May 7, 2015, a Notice of Tort Clsim was filed with the Mayor and City Counsel of Baltimore and the tate of Maryland, placing the City and Staten notice that the above-referenced officers intend fo purse «claim against Mrs. Mosby and those responsible fr charging his ase 1s the charging documents contain errors and omissions that resulted in the unlawful arest and ‘Ste blde fives (8) Poseson or alee, probit.

(See Attached Exhibit 3, Tort Claim & Public Information Act Request) ‘Mrs. Mosby publically contends that the charges were levied against these Police Officers after a thorough and independent investigation conducted by her offive. It is the position ofthe Defendants thatthe charges against them are baseless and that there are material false statements and omissions contained in the Statement of Charges. Mrs. Mosby's office performed the investigation, and as such, the employees and agents of her office have become the central witnesses to this case ‘As discussed in detail below, the chief prosecutor ofthis ease isin a relationship with a local television news reporter, That reported conducted an “exclusive” interview with Donta Allen ‘on May 1, 2015. The story that Mr, Allen told this reporter is key to the defense ofthis case and is substantively different in certain respects ffom the story that he told the original police investigators, a5 detailed in a search warrant executed earlier in the iavestigation of this matter. ‘As such, the reporter is also a witness to this case. ‘As further discussed below, Mrs, Mosby's husband is a councilman forthe very district where these events occurred; her inciting rhetoric in this case reveal clear extra-prosecutorial motivations and ambitions. Finally, Mrs. Mosby's personal and professional relationships with the Gray family attomey, William Murphy, cast a shadow over the prosecution and all charging decisions. As discussed in detail below, Mr. Murphy is not only a mentor and financial supporter of Mrs. Mosby, Dut, also her attorney. It should be noted that yesterday, in a separate and unrelated matter to this one, a similar Motion to Recuse Mrs. Mosby ftom Prosecution was filed on the grounds that her relationship ‘with William Murphy unfily biased the outoome and status ofthat case. I was alleged in thet “Motion tht two Defendants both also police offices) were charged with identical erininal charges based on identical facts It was alleged that onthe day Mrs. Mosby was swom into office, she entered a nolle prosequ (dismissal) agunst Mr. Murphy's client. A eopy ofthat Motion is altace as ie Each of these conflicts, separately and individually, as well asthe statements made by Mrs. ‘Mosby tothe publi in her capacity as the State's Attorney for Baltimore City, demand recusal, ARGUMENT [A State's Attorney's “decision to prosecute, just lke the methods [s}he employs to procure ‘conviction, must be in accord with the fair and impartial administration of justice, untainted by ‘any contatninating influence.” Sinclair v. State, 278 Md. 243, 260 (Ma. 1976). The Sinclair court further stated, “if « prosecutor has, or would clearly appear to a reasonable person having ‘knowledge of the pertinent facts to have, any pecuniary interest or a significant personal interest ina civil matter which may impair [her] obligation ina criminal matter to act impartially toward both the State and the accused, then [she i, on the basis ofthis State's public policy, disqualified {rom initiating or participating inthe prosecution of that criminal cause.” 1d at 254 “The Sinclair Court went onto hold thatthe following reasoning was apt ‘The principle long ago was recognized that no man can adequately, ‘or properly serve two masters, and this is the chief subject matter of Canon 6 [(now Canon 5) ofthe Canons of Professional Ethics. tis inconsistent with the public interest and welfare for any law ‘enforcement officer directly or indirectly to represent any person. involved in a criminal matter, except the State, or receive any personal profit or gnin as the result of the arrest, conviction ot acquital of one charged with the infraction of the Jaw or in ‘connection with the filing of any such charge. . . . The books are replete with cases indicating that any appearance of evil in ‘connection with the administration of public office should and must, be avoided; and particularly is this tre of those offices involved in the enforcement ofthe aw. ‘To permit a prosecuting attomey to have an interest of any nature whatsoever in any civil proceedings, direcly or indirectly, and Which proceedings involve similar facts or the same subject matter 1a criminal prosecution then pending or thereat initiated, can ‘only give rise to suspicion concerning and relating to the motives of the prosecuting attomey involved, and bring such office into disrepute with the public. Id, at 255-256 citing State v, Detroit Motors, 62 N.J. Super. 386, 163 A. 24.227, 229-31 (L. Div. 1960), Maryland has also statutorily addressed the inherent need for prosecutors to be held to higher standards, Section (a) of Rule 3.8, Special Responsibilities ofa Prosecutor, indicates that ‘prosecutor ina criminal case shall “refrain from prosecuting a charge thatthe prosecutor knows isnot supported by probable cause.” Further, section (c) states in relevant part thatthe prosecutor shall “refrain from making extrajudicial comments that have a substantia likelihood of heightening public condemnation ofthe accused.” These special responsibilities of a prosecutor ae in addition to Rule 3.6, which applics to all atorneys in the context of trial publicity, Section (@) of Rule 3.6 states, {a} lawyer who is participating or has participated in the ‘investigation or litigation of a matter shall not make an extrajudicial statement thatthe lawyer knows or reasonably should know will be disseminated by means of public communication and will have & substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing an adjudicative proceeding inthe mater Both the spirit and law of Sinclair as well as the statutory rules outlined above have been egregiously violated by the Baltimore City State’s Attomey’s Office, As such, this Honorable Court showld grant this Joint Motion to Dismiss and, in the Altemative, for Recusal of the Baltimore City State's Attomey’s Office in the prosecution of each ofthe Defendants’ respective 1. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MARILYN MOSBY AND NICK MOSBY CAUSES AN UNAVOIDABLE CONFLICT. Standard 3-1.3(0 ofthe ABA General Standards forthe Prosection Function identify the basis forthe Defendants assertion that Mrs. Marilyn Mosby/s relationship to Mr. Nick Mosby, and the respective roles thatthe payin the pottical community of Baltimore City, establishes a basis for Mrs, Mosby (and the Office of the States Attomey for Baltimore City) to be disqualified fom prosecuting the cases ofthe above-referenced defendants, officers ofthe Baltimore City Police Department Standard 3-1,3 (0) Conflicts of Interests states: “A prosecutor should not permit her professional judgment or obligations be affected by his or her own politcal, financial busines, property or personal interests,” “Marilyn Mosby, State's Attorney for Baltimore City, is married to Nick Mosby, Councilman for the 7 District of the Baltimore City Council. Mr. Mosby's distict includes many of the neighborhoods effected by the civil unrest and rioting that occured inthe City of Baltimore after the death of Freddie Gray. A review of the Baltimore City Council Webpage, and specifically, a review ofthe 7 District Communities’ chat are geographically locsted within the confines ofthe ‘Council Distt, discloses tat the Committees and Associations tht are in that District include: Mondawnin Merchants Association Mondawmin Neighborhood Improvement Association, Inc Nehemiah Homeowner's Association of Sandtown-Winchester Pena-North Nehemiah Homeowners’ Association Penn-North Revitalization Corporation Pennsylvania Avenue Merchants Association * See Attached Exhibit 5, Map of the Cy of Baltinore 7 Couns Distt and a lisig ofthe Dist Pennsylvania Avenve Redevelopment Collaborative Sandtown- Habitat Homeowners' Association Sandiown-Winchester Community Building in Partnership Sandtown-Winchester Improvement Association ‘Undersigned counsel believes that this Court can take judicial notice ofthe fact that the neighbochoods set forth above were harshly impacted and considered "Ground Zero" for the ‘violent turbulence that took place after the death of Freddie Gray. The images of these communities ere projected in every local and national media form and medium that covered the violence that emptied in Baltimore City. All communities that are within te confines ofthe 7 District are home to the constituents of Mr, Mosby, He clearly had a professional and personal interest in the need to climinate the rioting and destruction ofthe property in his Council District. Likewise his wite, Marilyn Mosby, bad a professional and personal interest in accommodating the needs of her husband - his politcal foture directly affects her personal, professional end political interests “The need to quell the raging infemo of human rage and revulsion within the confines of the 7 District was emergent. Failure to put an end tothe destruction of property and the ongoing violence would lead to greater degradation of a community that had existing systemic problems ‘within the community. Me, Mashy’s relationship with the State's Attomey for Baltimore City placed him in a unique position to influence the decision of an elected official who was susceptible to be influenced in choosing to file criminal charges against the defendants in this matter, It is inconceivable that Mis. Mosby was not influenced by the chellenges presented to her husband as ‘ community leader of neighborhoods that were literally "up in tlames.” “The preservation of prosecutorial impartiality is perhaps most important during the charging process, the phase of a criminal proceeding when the prosecutor's discretion is most apparent. The theme which runs throughout the criminal procedure process in this country, and in this State, is that all persons should be protected from having to defend against frivolous 0 prosecutions and that one major safeguard against such prosecutions isthe function ofthe State's ‘Attomey in sereening criminal cases prior to instituting prosecution, Surely, an essential aspect of this safeguard must be the prosecutors freedom from any personal or emotional involvement in a controversy which might bias her objective exercise of judgment. Chants of "no justice, no peace, no racist police” were heard throughout the stoct of Baltimore before (and aftcr) Mrs. Mosby elected to hastily announce that she determined that it ‘was appropriate to charge the above-referenced defendants with criminal acts Soon afer a Major ofthe Baltimore City Sheifs Office appeared befor a District Court ‘of Maryland Commissioner secking the issuance of arest warrants fr the six officers who are the defendans in this matter, Mis. Mosby Reld a press conference. AL this press conference Mis “Mosby proclaimed that she brought cxsninal charges against the officers to show not only the people of Baltimore, but als “the demonstrators across America that "heard your call fr ‘no justice, no peace" and proceeded to move forward with the politically motivated prosecution of the six officers who have served the City of Baltimore as proud polie officers. Asa result, these offices son found themselves offered upto the masses by Mas. Mosby to quel! the uprising that ‘caused the most harm tothe District where her husband is the City Council representative. The National Distict Attomeys Association National Prosecution Standards offers ‘uidance to prosecutors inthe execution oftheir dues. In he iatrodution othe Standard, tis sated tha, “These standards are intended tobe an aspirational guide to professional conduct in the perforntance of profesional function. Unless otherwise indicated, they are intended to apply to the chief prosecutor (by whatever tile) in any office, as well as to deputy and assistant prosecutors.” n ‘Standard 1-3.3(@) appears to be somewhat similar tothe ABA Standard, but offers stronger Tanguage in encouraging a prosecutor to recuse himself or herself from involvement in @ matter that may have the appearance of conflict of interest. Specifically, the Standard states, “The prosecutor should excuse himself or hersef from any investigation, prosecution, or other matter where personal interests of the prosecutor would cause a fair-minded, objective observer to conclude thatthe prosecutors neutrality, judgment or ability to administer the law in an objective ‘manner may be compromised.” ‘The language used by the National Association of District Attomeys in offering guidance o prosecutors in regard to determining when it is appropriste to remove oneself from the prosecutor function as it relates to an investigation or prosecution that may be influenced by & personal matter is clear, and direct. Any fair-minded, objective observer would conclude that Ms. “Mosby's neutrality, judgment and ability to administer the law in an objective manner was, and is, ‘compromised by her relationship to Nick Mosby, and his position as a. District Councilman. ‘Ms. Mosby must recognize this conflict, and make the ethically appropriate decision in regard to the conflict caused by her mariage to 7 Distiet Councilman Nick Mosby. She must remove herself and her office ffom the prosecution of this matter. U1, _ THE BALTIMORE STATE'S ATTORNEY'S OFFICE SHOULD BE RECUSED BECAUSE OF PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN A KEY PROSECUTOR IN THEIR OFFICE AND AN INDIVIDUAL WHO WILL BE A WITNESS AT TRIAL. Counsel for Defendants demand that Mrs. Mosby recuse herselt and her Office trom the above-captioned cases in light ofthe inherent and overly prejudicial conflict raised by the lead prosecutor's relationship toa potentially vital witness who is also a key member of the local media. Jan Bledsoe, Esq,, Deputy State’s Attomey and lead prosecutor forthe State, is in a relationship 2 ‘with Jayne Mille, an investigative reporter for WBAL-TV. This relationship was confirmed by ‘Tayne Miller tothe Baltimore Sun, as recently as Friday, May 1, 2015, (On April 27, 2015, a search warrant was executed on the home of Officer Caeser Goodson. According to the affidavit attached the search warrant, Donta Allen, the only other person inthe ‘back of the van with Mr. Gray during the ide, indicated Ww Inmicide detectives on the day of Mr Gray’s arest that, in his opinion, “Mr. Gray was trying to hurt himself” (See Attached Exhibit 6, Search Warrant), (On April 29, 2015 the Washington Post reported that a second passenger was in the van “with Freddie Gray and according toa source the passenger heard Gray “banging against the walls” of the van and described what he believed was Gray “intentionally eying to injure himself.” The Post article referenced the Search Warrant but omitted Mr. Allen's name, citing eoncems over his safety? ‘On April 30, 2015, Jayne Miller of WBAL presented an exclusive interview with the second passenger, Donta Allen. When interviewed by Jayne Miller of WBAL, the individual who vas in the van with Mr. Gray somewhat retracted his earlier statement. He now stated that he heard “Tight banging” and that he “never ever said to police that [Gray] was hurting himselE.” Dring this interview with Ms, Mille, Allen described a barier which divided the rea ofthe van {nto two sections and as such, Allen stated that not only did he not see Gray, or realize there was ‘a second passenger, but that “there's no place where a man can hurt himself in there.” ‘After Jayne Miller's interview with Donta Allen, itbecame clear that Mr. Allen's story had changed. Accordingly, Ms. Miller necessarily becomes either a substantive witness or an After M.A interview with ayn Miler, the Washington Post digo ono rele is ame, 2 impeachment relative tothe veracity and detsi of Mr, Allen's story. Theis simply no way around this confit Itis unclear how Jayne Miller of WBAL leamed the identity ofthe otherwise anonymous passenger. However, the fat remains that Ms. Miller interviewed Mr. Allen prior to Ms. Mosby and Ms, Bledsoe fing xi orto the results ofthe police al Larges pis the defendants and investigation being fumed over to the Stie's Atomey's Office, That interview, therefore, presumably wes considered inthe decision by the State's Attorcy's Office to ave charges filed. ‘The conflict is traly problematic in that Mr, Allen presented a difeeit version of events that is more beneficial to the State's theory ofthe case in speaking with Ms. Miller. Thus, Defendants ‘would have an opportunity to examine Ms, Miller as to the nature of her conversations with Mr. ‘Alten prior to his interview, any statements he sid while not being recorded, and any statements he made as to why he had varying accounts of key testimony in the ease. Ms. Miller may also need to testify sto the authenticity ofthe recording of Mr, Allen. Ms, Miller and er notes eve already been requested and subpoenaed by Defense counsel In further recognition ofthe inherent confit, on May 5, 2015, Jayne Miller stated, “I'm cally going tobe covering less ofthe Freddie Gray case, because Ihave a personal connection toone ofthe prosecutors” Couns! for Defendants avers that his confit has erated the ned for the parties involved thus far to recuse themselves. As others, inch 1 Jayne Miller herself have ecopnized tis confit of interests and recused herself, Mis. Mosby should els recognize this undisputed conflict and recuse herself from any further prosecution i the above-captioned eases. “This conflict seal and undeniably intertwined withthe prosecution and charging decisions ofthis MI, THE BALTIMORE CITY STATE'S ATTORNEY'S OFFICE SHOULD BE RECUSED BECAUSE OF THE STATE'S ATTORNEY'S OFFICE'S “ INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION, DISREGARDING THE BALTIMORE POLICE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATION. ‘The conflicts with Mrs. Mosby's office extend well beyond the conflict of her chief prosecutor and a witness. The conflicts involve the entirety of he investigation andthe necessity of calling all “investigators” as witnesses, Mes, Mosby has publicly stated that the Baltimore Slate's Atlomey’s Office has conducted its own independent investigation, under her supervision, apart from the Baltimore City Police Department investigation. Specifically, she has stated in her ‘press conference held on May 1, 2015, “1 thought it was very important to have an independent analysis as to what took place and transpired from the very beginning. We are independent agencies from the police department, We've been ‘working independently. And I can tell you that we put all of our resources to make sue that we were pursuing and leading where the facts took usin this case, which was to pursue justice. Ican tell you that from day one, we independently investigated. We're not just relying solely upon what we were given ftom the police department, period.” In an interview following the press conference, Mrs. Mosby publicly addressed the investigation further stating, “can tell you, a8 I stated, we had a number of investigators. You ‘ean see it's been an allchands-on approach from the very beginning. So, I sent my investigators out tothe scene. We have a ‘umber of them who are right here... So, yes, we have leveraged the police investigation, but at no point did we compromise our own independent investigation into this case.” (emphasis added) ‘Mrs, Mosby's statements are telling in that she repeatedly refers to and implies thatthe investigators essigned by the Baltimore State's Attomey’s office are under her control. She refers to them possessively because they are her subordinates and subject to her supervision and ‘management. 1s ‘The fact that these investigators sre controlled by Mrs, Mosby creates a clear and undeniable conflict of interest. These investigators will necessarily be called to testify as result ofthe defendants right to attack the investigation conducted by the Baltimore State's Attomey's Office. As Mrs. Mosby is ina supervisory role, these investigator witnesses ae at her mercy in ‘erns oF Ur weil enploynca slaus. As Lely, hese witnesses cannot possibly be expected to tetity without unde influence. They undoubtedly know that thei testimony may be central to the til strategy and clear noodof their employer to biain a convietionof the defendant. As such, their testimony willbe unduly influenced by a desire to maintain employment withthe Baltimore City State's Atomey’s Office. ‘When the State's Atlomey assumes the role ofthe investigator, her office becomes the witness, In order to appropriately defend this case, the defense will be required to attack the investigation, as it was erroneous, egregious, and deeply flawed. This attack will necessarily require subpoenaing and calling as witnesses many of Mrs. Mosby's employees. Itcannot be ssid that this does not presenta confit of interest with her office. This is precisely the reason for separation of the police department and State's Attomey's Office. Here, the State's Attomey Office ha erated an indisputable conflict, simultancously taking on therole of police, prosecutor, and witness IV. THE BALTIMORE CITY STATE'S ATTORNEY'S OFFICE SHOULD BE RECUSED BECAUSE STATE'S ATTORNEY MOSBY HAS A DIRECT FINANCIAL AND PROFESSIONAL INTREST IN THE OUTCOME OF THE As (On May 7, 2015, a Tort jms Notice was served upon both the City of Baltimore and the State of Maryland alleging that false and misleading statements and omissions inthe Statement of ce offices Probable Cause resulted in the unlawful arrest and detention of each of the six po involved inthis mater. It was alleged in the Tort Claims Notice that, amongst various other issues, 16 the legality ofthe knife and the law under which Mr. Gray was charged, were falsely detailed in the Statement of Probable Cause. As a result the Tort Claim’s Notice states that Mrs. Mosby and her office “do not now have any legally justifiable reason to believe thatthe above-referenced individuals had committed the crimes for which they re charged” (See Attached Exhibit 3, Tort (Claims Notice). The Tort Claims Notice yoes on to aver Ut if it ft the hie at issue was illegal (as indicated by Officer Miller in his charging document of Mr. Gray), then not only is there an absolute defense t these criminal cases, bu, there is claim for false imprisonment, arrest and malicious prosecution of the six police officers, resting squarely on the door step ofthe State’s Attomey's Office. As discussed below, because of the State's Attomey Office's investigatory role in this matter, they have forfeited immunity from ivi suit. “Moreover, The Baltimore Cty State's Attorney's reckless, careless and inaccurate public stalements are not protected by absolute immunity and have thus exposed her to civil liability and potential discipline by the Attomey Grievance Commission of Maryland, creating an impermissible personal bias and necessitating the appointment of an independent prosecutor. Despite clear guidance from the Court of Appeals discouraging public statements by a prosecutor Which may diminish a defendants right to an impartial jury and fair trial, Mrs. Mosby's inaccurate statements and inflammatory hyperbole at her press conference potentially subject her to sanction fiom the Attomey Grievance Commission and civil liability. See, eg, Attorney Grievance ‘Commission of Maryland v. Gansler,377 Mi, 646 (2003). Choosing to ignore long established Supreme Court Case law regarding the diminished immunity of a prosecutor who acts as an investigator and gives extrajudicial statements, Mrs. Mosby has subjected herself to civil suit by the officers she secks to prosecute. ‘The threat of ” ‘pecuniary and professional sanction have stripped Mrs. Mosby of the impartiality necessary to fairly make prosecutorial decisions moving forward ‘The United States Supreme Court in Buckley », Fitesimmons gives clear direction that a prosecutor enjoys “absolute immunity for the initiation and pursuit of « criminal prosecution, ling pesentation of tho tte’ case a il” Ducky v. Fssinmons, 09 US, 259, 270 (1993). This absolute immunity includes “the professional evaluation ofthe evidence assembled by the police and appropriate preparation forts presentation at tial..” However, Mrs. Mosby has gone to great lengths to stress he decision to levy charges was based on her offices “independent investigation,” and not reliant on the Baltimore Police fon. Furthermore, Mrs. Mosby declared at her press conference that her office performed the role ofan “independent investigntion.” The Cour in Buckley, relying on its decision in Imblerv, Pachonan, 424 U.S. 409,432 (1916), retrates that prosecutor who act as an investigator and not as an advocate doesnot enjoy absolute immunity Furthermore the comments have violated Maryland's Rules of Professional Conduct, Rules 3.6 and 3.8 (Special Responsibilities of a Prosecutor) which require attomeys to reffain from making extrajudicial statements that have “a substantial likelihood of maesially prejudicng an adjudicate proceeding” and probit a prosecutor fom filing charge not supported by probable cause, Mrs, Mosby's public assertions at her press conference fly in the face of the Court of [Appeals stem warning to prosecutors that “a prosecutors, in particular should be even more ‘cutious to avoid making potentially prejudicial extrajudicial statements.” Gansler at 698. ‘THE BALTIMORE STATE'S ATTORNEY'S OFFICE SHOULD BE RECUSED BECAUSE OF THE COMPELLING INTERESTS OF THE ATTORNEY FOR THE FAMILY OF FREDDIE GRAY, A CLOSE FRIEND, FINANCIAL SUPPORTER AND ATTORNEY FOR MRS. MOSBY. 8 tis the position ofthe undersigned counsel that Mrs. Mosby, andthe Office of the State’s ‘Attorney for Baltimore City, be recused from further prosocution ofthe named Defendants in the ahove cited case numbers. There is an overwhelming conflict of interest that has arisen, and continues, in the State's Attorney's representation of the City of Baltimore. Mrs. Mosby has a guile personal wel profesional ielaioahip with Wilians H. “Dilly” Murphy the founding partner of Murphy, Faleon & Murphy. This ongoing relationship has created a confit for which the only remedy isthe reeusal of Ms. Mosby and the Baltimore State's Attomey’s Office, Mr. Murphy is the Gray family atomey and presents himself as their confidant nd spokesperson, He has repeatedly appeared on television, both locally and nationally, on behalf of the Gray family, Mr, Morphy has a substantial financial interest in the outcome of any criminel case against these six police officers, as any guilty finding will improve his positon in any potential civil suit against the City of Baltimore and its police department. With reference to any potential civil claim by Gray fuily for whom Me. Murphy is counsel, ifthe death of Me. Gray was found to be scidentl and in the couse ofa legal detention, at best 2 claim under Maryland State law claim for negligence or gross negligence would be supportable. As a result ofthe Local Goverment Tort Claims Act and Maryland tort law, there ‘would be a limitation of les! goverment lity, and Me. Murphy would notable to rsover attomey’s fees. Tat cap in local government liability would not be applicable i the Gray faily hud a viable federal Consttatona claim under § 1983, and atomey's foes could be awarded to ‘Mc. Murphy, Notably the charges agnnst Ge Defendants that Mrs, Mosby most clearly overreached on are false imprisonment, assault, and second degree murder, each of which involve some level of intent, Intentional action under color of law wihich deprives and individual of @ 19 Constitutional right allows for a Constitutional § 1983 claim, ‘Therefore, Mrs. Mosby's pursuit of criminal charges involving intent, potentially has dies financial impact on Me. Morphy. ‘Mrs. Mosby's connection to Mr, Murphy is of great concem othe undersigned counsel, and it shouldbe of even greater concer tothe residents of his ity. Ms. Mosby had Mr. Murphy has a member of her team as she began the process of trailing aloe sole as the State's ‘Attomey for Baltimore City. Me. Murphy also donate significantly to Mrs, Mosby's campaign, in essence helping her win her postion. The connection between Ms. Mosby and Mr. Murphy is undeniable and the conflict it cretes is detrimental in the pursuit of justice. “The Maryland Rules f Professional Conduct equie attomeysin all positions to adhere to 2 stiet code of ethical conduct. Mrs. Mosby's coated prosecution of the named Defendants ‘woefully underrepresents justice, which is at the core of any prosecution. Maryland Rule 1.7 specifically stats that there is a conflict if “her is a signicant sis tha the representation of one ‘ormore clients willbe materially limited bythe lawyer's responsibilities to another cient, former lien ora third person or by a personal interest of the lawyer” (emphasis added), In adition to her personal relationship, Ms, Mosby as a professional relationship with Mr. Murphy. A complaint was filed against Ms. Mosby to the Attomey Grievance Commission of Maryland lato last year. In an email dated October 29, 2014, Mr. Murphy outlines his representation of Ms. Mosby. (See Exhibit 7) It is elear from the exhibit, and from the response ofthe Attomey Grievance Commission of Maryland, that Mt. Murphy was tained by Ms. Mosby. "Not only was Mr. Morphy’s fm retained but he personally handled her matter. ILis unclear as to whether this professional relationship is sill ongoing with regards lo any subsequent lings. ‘When interviowod recently by CNN's Don Lemon, Mis. Mosby was asked about her contact with the Gray family. She indicated that she had brought them in to her office and “spoken 20 With them and their tomy.” Mrs, Mosby has clearly had direct contact with Mr, Murphy in regards o this case ‘The Maryland Roles of Professional Conduct are very clear when it comes to confit of| interest. Its plainly stated in Comment 8 under Maryland Rue 1.7 that, “elven where there is no direct advorences, a onic of interostoxcaif thro i a ignfiont rie that a lawyer bility to consider, recommend oF cary out an appropriate course of action forthe client will be meteilly limited as result ofthe lawyers other responsibilities or interests." The Court can glean guidance fiom Comment 26 of Rule 1.7, which states tha, “relevant factors in determining whether there is a significant potential for material imitation include the duration and intimacy ofthe lawyer's relationship with the client or client involved, the functions being performed by the layer, the ikethood that disagreements wll arise and the likely prejudice tothe client rom the conflict." ‘Yesterday, in a separate and unrelated mater to tis one State of Maryland v,Jeftey Bolger, a nearly identical Motion fo Recuse Ms. Mosby ftom Prosecution was filed on the grounds that her relationship with William Murphy unfsirty biased the outcome and status ofthat cas. It ‘was alleged in that Motion that two Defendants (bth police offers) wore charged with nealy {identical criminal charges based on identical facts. It was alleged that the two defense attomeys (Mt. Murphy and Steve Levin) had hoon roqueting the State's Atomey's Office, prior to Me Mosby taking office, to dismis all charges as they were not supported by any expert opinions (to the contrary the medical examiner's report actually supported dismissal of Mr. Levin's lent, not ‘Mr. Murphy's). According tothe Motion, on Mrs. Mosby's fist official day after being sworn into office, she entered a nole prosequi (dismissal) in favor Me. Murphy's client. See Attached Exhibit, Motion, State v.Bolger). ‘The Motion cites the unftir and undeniable intertwined n relationship by Mrs, Mosby and Mr. Murpay, The same reasoning applies with even greater force to the instant case CONCLUSION Each of the above-captioned Defendants have fundamental concems about undeniable ‘coullicts of interest which have turned the prosecution of this case into a platform for oxtra- ‘prosecutorial motivations. These concems are rooted in the United States Constitution, the ‘Maryland Declaration of Rights, the Meryland Rules of Professional Conduct and the ABA’s ‘Guidelines for Prosecutors. As stated earlier, these concerns are deep are real and are imminent. ‘They require a dismissal ofthese cases, with he ability of an independent prosecutor to re-evaluate the charging decisions, or, in the least « recusal of Mrs. Mosby's office.
