System Bias is Not the Problem in Baltimore’s Freddie Gray Case: Prosecutors Bringing Charges Due to Public Pressure Instead of Evidence IS

I’ve been watching the unfolding story in Baltimore with regards to the Freddie Gray trials, and am not surprised at what’s happening.  It’s not because of system bias, as some think it is.  It’s because the prosecutors brought charges against the police officers without enough evidence to prove their case.  This is reckless prosecution in it’s purest form.

It’s wrong and should be stopped from proceeding any further.  The family has already received $6.4 million from the city of Baltimore to settle the civil lawsuit, and with police officers already suing the prosecutors for their reckless handling of this case, it will probably cost the city even more to put this case to rest.

There can’t be true justice unless the prosecution does their job for all the right reasons.
