Marilyn Mosby’s Office Got Two Names Wrong When Filing Charges; CNN Panel Piles On

Two of the arrest documents initially issued by prosecutors in the Freddie Gray case accidentally listed the wrong people. That’s right, the charges filed against Alicia White and Brian Rice accidentally listed the wrong Alicia White and Brian Rice.

According to The Baltimore Sun, the Alicia White they initially wrote down works at an elementary school cafeteria in Baltimore and was getting lots of calls after the charges were filed.

And how much did that get screwed up? Well, as an attorney for White said, “The middle initial was off. Her address, her height, her weight, her driver’s license number – all of the information was my client’s information… Her life has been a living hell the past four days.”

Meanwhile, the Brian Rice that was initially identified was a plumber from Brunswick.

Wolf Blitzer brought the “pretty embarrassing” issue up tonight, and the CNN panel just kept piling on. Jeffrey Toobin called it potentially “indicative of undue haste on the part of the prosecutor and the authorities.”

Sunny Hostin called it a “public safety issue” and said one of the people wrongly identified tried reaching out to Mosby via social media, and was troubled that she didn’t return the message.
