The youngest top prosecutor of any major city in America will play a key role in a case that has incited riots across the nation, NBC News reported. Marilyn Mosby — who is in her fourth month on the job — is now tasked with determining whether charges are warranted in the controversial death of Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old black man who died after suffering a spinal cord injury in police custody. After Baltimore police handed over the findings of its investigation, the former insurance company attorney will now lead an independent investigation of the officers involved in Gray's death on April 19. She has not said when she might decide if she will pursue charges. Mosby is a Democrat who comes from a long line of police officers — but she has been vocal about holding cops accountable in the past.
