would block the release of Freddie Gray's autopsy report and other
documents as she prosecutes police over his arrest, the Baltimore Sun
reported on Thursday.

State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby told the newspaper that prosecutors "have a
duty to ensure a fair and impartial process for all parties involved" and "
will not be baited into litigating this case through the media."
Gray, a 25-year-old black man, died on April 19 from a spinal injury
suffered in police custody. His death triggered protests and a day of
rioting in the largely black city, and came amid a national debate on police
brutality.
Mosby has charged six officers with violations ranging from misconduct in
office to, in one case, second-degree murder. All the officers have been
released on bail.
She outlined her intention to seek the protective order in a filing on
Monday in Baltimore City Circuit Court. She also asked for more time to
respond to defense motions that she and her office be removed from the case
and that the case be tried outside Baltimore.
The move is the latest effort by Mosby's office to restrict information in
the high-profile case. Prosecutors have sought a gag order to prevent
participants from discussing the case in public, and have broken with a long
-standing practice by not giving a copy of the autopsy report to Baltimore
police.
Ivan Bates, who represents one of the accused officers, Sergeant Alicia
White, criticized Mosby's request, saying she had made a nationally
televised speech about the evidence.
"Now that it is time to turn over the evidence, to ask for a protective
order is beyond disingenuous," the Sun quoted him as saying.
Bates said the protective order would allow only prosecutors and defense
attorneys to see the documents, and could require the court to seal all new
filings that make reference to information in the documents.
The court wrangling comes as Baltimore is suffering from a sharp upturn in
murders which police blame on drug gang turf wars. Police Commissioner
Anthony Batts said on Wednesday the city was seeking more federal help.
Initially, Baltimore had counted 43 killings in May, the highest monthly
total since 1972. A police spokeswoman on Thursday said detectives had
reclassified one murder as justified, which dropped the May figure to 42,
the highest monthly total since 1990.

I work in Baltimore and have family who work in City Hall, and the rumors I
have been hearing (no idea if they are true) is that the autopsy confirms
Freddie Gray swallowed packets of heroin he was selling as he was fleeing
the police, and he went into convulsions in the back of the van when they
hit his system. This scenario makes perfect sense and would explain exactly
what happened. No wander Mosby doesn't want this information to come to
light- her political career would be over when the cops charged with crimes
are let off the hook. | T**********e

警察的律师可以上诉，美国体制要封锁文件基本不可能，除非是national security，
丫一老黑的尸检和口袋里的弹簧刀要保密太可笑了。
