URGENT - Baltimore State's Attorney deputy once defended Freddie Gray
3:38 PM EDT Jul 30, 2015
(CNN) -- Baltimore's Deputy State's Attorney, who is prosecuting the six
police officers for the in-custody death of Freddie Gray, once represented
the victim in an unrelated 2012 criminal case, court documents show. The
connection is made in a new filing by the defense attorneys for the officers
charged in Mr. Gray's death who raise the issue to argue that the State's
Attorney Marilyn Mosby's office should recuse itself from the case, citing a
conflict of interest. The documents include a letter dated September 11,
2012 from the Office of the Public Defender addressed to Jan Bledsoe
informing her that she had been assigned a case for defendant Freddie Gray,
who was being charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana with intent
to distribute.
