Mosby doesn't understand her job

Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby has a warped and dangerous view of her job ("Mosby says that justice prevailed in Gray case," Sept. 20). The public relies on its elected prosecutor to use her prosecutorial authority when, in her professional judgment, the defendant has committed a provable crime.

It is not enough that she believes "that what happened (to Freddie Gray) will never take place in the City of Baltimore again as a result of those charges." As was shown in court, the charges were not provable.
