Here’s what you might’ve missed over the weekend:
Prosecutors in State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s office collected over 300,000 pieces of evidence in the case of the six officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray. On a Friday deadline, prosecutors turned the evidence over to defense attorneys for the officers. The SA’s office still wants evidence to be sealed to avoid tactical leaking by the defense, following the leak of Gray’s autopsy report last week. Prosecutors also filed a new motion requesting to keep the trial in Baltimore.
+ Worth a read: The Sun’s profile of Kevin Moore, the man who filmed Freddie Gray’s arrest. Moore’s efforts to film the police have made him an inspiration for activists, but not without consequences.
Yesterday, Baltimore Police shot a man inside a 7-Eleven, believing that an armed robbery was underway.
