As acquittals add up, Freddie Gray prosecutor feels the heat

Baltimore State's Atty. Marilyn J. Mosby instantly became a controversial figure across America — lauded as a hero by the left and decried as a demagogue by the right — when she brought charges against six police officers in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray.
More than a year later, her repute is even more debatable.
With two officers acquitted and a third now on trial, Mosby's critics are calling for her to resign and to drop the charges against all of the officers. Detractors say she has demoralized the Police Department and emboldened criminals, and speculation has begun about who would challenge her re-election in two years.
"She'll try to say, 'At least I tried. Isn't that a good thing?'" said Roya Hanna, a former Baltimore prosecutor. But she added: "I think indicting people when you have no evidence to convict them shows a serious lack of judgment."
