Marilyn Mosby's Impactful Prosecutions in Baltimore

Marilyn Mosby, the former district attorney of Baltimore, gained recognition for charging officers involved in the Freddie Gray case. Despite not securing convictions in that case, she successfully prosecuted 33 police officers on various charges, including corruption within the gun trace task force. Additionally, Mosby declined to prosecute low-level offenses like cannabis possession, leading to the removal of over 800 convictions. She also worked on vacating wrongful convictions and exonerating innocent individuals, while fostering positive relationships with young people in the justice system.
