Baltimore riots

Nice break down OTM. I think you are pretty much spot on. I will tell you, from what have heard from people who know these things, Mosby is wayyyy out of her depth. She also got rid of a lot (a lot!) of experienced prosecutors when she took office.

As for official immunity, I honestly don't know how it works in the criminal system. I would assume, if they are provided certain immunity from civil negligence, the officers could not be found guilty of any crime in which "negligence" is a fundamental element of the crime. (i.e., a finding of negligence requires finding a breach of a duty, but, under civil immunity, you are barred from asserting such a breach if official immunity is applicable. Thus, since they can never be civilly liable for negligence, I don't see how they can be criminally liable for negligence - but that is pure speculation on my part. I have been wondering what about that very issue since the charges were announced.)
