Mosby let the press and public make what should have been a professional decision. She's paying the price for her lack of professional ethics and the states attorney's office is going to lose money as a result of it.
But sometimes I look at something like this and wonder if she wasn't ordered to overcharge from above. "Everyone" knows they are guilty, criminally anyway, but you HAVE to have a trial so people get "justice".
And it's not fair, and I don't agree with it, but grossly overcharging them is a win-win (except to the taxpayer). Because you can't put them on trial with charges that might actually stick if you don't think they are guilty.
In another high profile case (forget which one), the DA seemed to deliberately tank the grand jury indictment. But, hey, they sought an indictment so "justice" served.
