Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby defends her "progressive prosecution" model, which focuses on diverting people out of the system to avoid "over-criminalization."

Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby announces that the city will permanently stop prosecuting low-level offenses like drug possession and prostitution, framing it as a matter of "equity" and "justice." Mo and Adam point out that this policy shift occurred while Mosby was under federal investigation for her own financial records. They suggest the move is a political tactic rather than a genuine community solution.
