She won't be disbarred unless there's clear evidence of personal misconduct. She might be censured, and should be, for the misconduct of her subordinates (ironic, since this is one of the things she's prosecuting police leadership for). I suspect she's got what Mom used to call rat cunning. You can have that without being smart or skilled; it's the ability to survive adversity, usually by hazarding others in your place.

Mosby's between the proverbial rock and a hard place in this instance. If she opts not to re-try the first case along with the trials of the other three officers, she just reinforces the belief that she had no grounds for prosecution and the charges were politically motivated.
On the other hand, if Mosby plows ahead with the cases and loses--which seems likely--she will simply be lending more credibility to the ethics charges. Even more troubling for Mosby is that her first cases were actually the strongest she had. Having lost those, her chances of getting convictions in any of the others are close to zero.

She is in a tough spot. But you know what they say... When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. |

Much ado about nothing. If it was filed by a reputable attorney and not some crackpot I would think it would have merit. Otherwise much ado over nothing.

Prosecutors working for her either don't know how to practice law, or committed ethical breaches of various kinds. Judge Williams made that clear. Perhaps a lawsuit will allow the public to discover which. |

It is no surprise to me that you make judgements not on the merits of the case but on who is presenting the case. No doubted you would have concluded that the Sun revolves around the Earth because the counterclaim was made by the crackpot Galileo. |

Yeah because I'm a little skeptical about a guy that sues Catholic University for having crosses on their campus and McDonalds for making people fat...

I wonder if she regrets her rush to judgment.

I wonder if she regrets her rush to judgment. I'm certain she regrets the political implications. Just as I'm certain Rawlings-Blake regrets her indecision and inaction while her city burned has cost her a political career. That's all politicians care about, power. |

Not so sure about the Rawlings-Blake decision... about the only thing that would have happened had she not made the decision she did, was that more people likely would have died... and the damage might have been even worse... same as in Benghazi... Mosby's decision was a big mistake... and IMHO was racially motivated... |

We'll never know, will we? But the public clearly had an opinion; she didn't even try for a second term. I doubt anyone would have died had the police dealt with rioters using regular anti-riot measures. But if they had? When you decide to riot and loot, you better accept that it might end very badly for you. They'd have got little sympathy from me. |

The police shouldn't have started the riot in the first place then they wouldn't have had anything to worry about.

Unfortunately, I believe you are correct. Probably no regret for dragging these Officers thru the mud.
She's still moving forward I see. I guess she wants to say to public that she tried and she can blame the Judge.
