A federal judge is allowing key parts of a lawsuit against Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby, brought by five of the six police officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray, to move forward.
U.S. District Judge Marvin J. Garbis ruled that claims including malicious prosecution, defamation, and invasion of privacy can move forward against Mosby and Baltimore City Assistant Sheriff Samuel Cogen, who wrote the statement of probable cause.

“Plaintiffs’ malicious prosecution claims relate to her actions when functioning as an investigator and not as a prosecutor,” Garbis wrote.
The Attorney General’s Office, which is representing Mosby, declined to comment on the 65-page ruling, saying they needed time to review it.
