Judge unseals defamation lawsuit against Mosby in Freddie Gray case
Two more Baltimore police officers charged in the Freddie Gray case have filed a lawsuit against State's Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby, alleging defamation and false arrest, according to court documents unsealed Tuesday in U.S. District Court.
Officer Edward M. Nero, who was acquitted on all charges last month, and Officer Garrett E. Miller, who is awaiting trial, filed the joint lawsuit against Mosby and Sheriff's Office Maj. Samuel Cogen on April 29.
The officers allege that Mosby and Cogen knowingly filed false charges against them "in furtherance of [their] own personal interests and political agenda."
"Their illegal arrests were made without probable cause and demonstrated ill will, improper motivation and/or evil purpose," attorney Joseph Thomas Mallon Jr. wrote.
