| Marilyn Mosby Baltimore State Attorney conflicts of interest |
She has strong ties to the Baltimore community — her husband is Baltimore City Councilman Nick Mosby, according to the State’s Attorney website, and she has a “personal and professional relationship” with Gray’s family’s attorney, according to the Baltimore City Fraternal Order of Police.
An open letter sent by the Fraternal Order of Police before Mosby’s news conference today requested that Mosby appoint a Special Independent Prosecutor to “avoid any appearance of impropriety.”
“I have full faith in your professional integrity,” the letter said. “While I have the utmost respect for you and your office, I have very deep concerns about the many conflicts of interest presented by your office conducting an investigation in this case. These conflicts include your personal and professional relationship with Gray family attorney, William Murphy and the lead prosecutor’s connections with members of the local media. Based on several nationally televised interview, these reporters are likely to be witnesses in any potential litigation regarding this incident. Most importantly, it is clear that your husband’s political future will be directly impacted, for better or worse, by the outcome of your investigation.”
