Latest updates on Baltimore unrest and Freddie Gray case
The Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 3 is asking Baltimore States Attorney Marilyn Mosby to appoint a special prosecutor to the Freddie Gray investigation because of her personal connection to the Gray familys attorney, William H. Billy Murphy Jr., and her marriage to a City Councilman.
The letter from FOP President Gene Gyan also states that none of the six officers involved in Grays arrest and death were responsible for the 25-year-old West Baltimore mans death that spurred a night of rioting, looting, protests and unrest. The letter was released just minutes before Mosby announced charges against the officers.
Not one of the officers involved in this tragic situation left home in the morning with the anticipation that someone with whom they interacted would not go home that night, the letter states. As tragic as this situation is, none of the officers involved are responsible for the death of Mr. Gray.
Ryan requests that Mosby appoint a Special Independent Prosecutor.
I have very deep concerns about the many conflicts of interest presented by your office conducting an investigation in this case, the letter states.
These conflicts include your personal and professional relations with Gray family attorney, William Murphy, and the lead prosecutors connections with members of the local media, the letter states. Based on several nationally televised interviews, these reporters are likely to be witnesses in any potential litigation regarding this incident.

If I picked up a hitchhiker and drove him to the C-store where he shot the attendant, these same officers would arrest me as an accomplice and I would be charged with murder.
