Baltimore six 2

BALTIMORE – Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby has until June 26 to respond to three defense motions in the high-stakes trial of six officers in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray, a judge has ordered.
Attorneys for the six Baltimore Police officers have motioned for Mosby to be removed from the case, for the case to be removed from Baltimore and for the case to be dismissed based on “prosecutorial misconduct.”
The defense attorneys have argued Mosby has multiple conflicts of interest, including that her husband, City Councilman Nick Mosby, represents the area of West Baltimore where Gray was arrested.
[…]  All three of the defense motions were filed on May 27. Under normal rules of the court, Mosby would have until June 11 to respond. But earlier this week, Mosby’s office requested an extension until July 10, saying it needed more time to respond.

[…] “Defendants’ Motions in total span over 150 pages, setting forth a multitude of legal arguments and factual allegations that the State intends to answer diligently,” Mosby wrote in the request. “That undertaking, however, will require longer than the 15 days” that is routinely allowed.
The officers’ attorneys opposed such an extension.
“Time is not a luxury as the careers, livelihoods, and liberty of the Defendants hang in the balance, four of whom are charged with felonies and thus are no longer receiving the salaries necessary to support themselves and their families,” the attorneys wrote.
[…] On Thursday, Circuit Court Judge Charles J. Peters filed a one-page order, saying he had considered Mosby’s motion for an extension and the response from the defense attorneys.
His ruling essentially split the difference between the initial June 11 deadline and Mosby’s request of July 10. (read more)
