BALTIMORE — Federal prosecutors accuse Marilyn Mosby’s legal team of attempting to taint the jury pool through regular comments to the media on the courthouse steps, according to a motion filed Tuesday.
The prosecutors argued that since January, when Mosby was federally indicted, her team has made regular statements that are prohibited by local court rules, and they have asked the court to order Mosby’s defense team not to give future press conferences outside the federal courthouse.
“Defense counsel has repeatedly and flagrantly violated this Court’s Local Rules governing attorney conduct since the day the Grand Jury returned an indictment in this matter,” they wrote. “In order to protect due process and the dignity of the Court, this Court should order all counsel to cease giving press conferences on the courthouse steps.”
