Come ON! Baltimore Sun editorial board walks a tightrope with this take on Marilyn Mosby

Un-freaking-believable.

As we reported earlier, prosecutors dropped all remaining charges against Baltimore officers charged in the Freddie Gray case after several officers had already been acquitted. Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby had been criticized for attempting to convict police officers for political reasons.

Does the fact that the all officers were either acquitted or had charges against them dropped mean Mosby overcharged in an attempt to appease protesters? The Baltimore Sun editorial board played it both ways:

EDITORIAL: Marilyn Mosby was right to file charges last year and is right to drop them now. https://t.co/ISvm28nckG #FreddieGray

That takes “on the fence” to new heights.

@baltimoresun So which is it ? Can't be both, you know.

What?! Either they broke the law or they didn't. Can't have both ways. https://t.co/KuYgXxGsb5

@AlanDersh Wrong. These were show trials from the jump & so pathetic that it defies credulity they were brought in good faith.
