Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby is expected face a number of new counts in a lawsuit brought by two police officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray.
Sgt. Alicia White and Officer William Porter filed the lawsuit on May 2 and now their lawyer, Michael Glass, has told The Daily Caller News Foundation that he plans to amend the suit to include counts of malicious prosecution, false arrest, false imprisonment and violation of the Maryland declaration of rights.
The complaint is currently being modified and is expected to be made official by the end of June.
The officers -- two of the six who were charged in the death of black man while in police custody -- sued both Mosby and Baltimore Sheriff's Major Sam Cogen of the office for defamation and invasion of privacy in the original lawsuit.
"These six officers were essentially sacrificed," Glass told news outlet. "Alicia White, she's accused of murder, she never touched Mr. Gray."
Both Porter and White face charges of manslaughter, assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office. Porter was tried once, but the case ended in a mistrial. He's expected to be tried again later this year.
The lawsuit currently seeks $75,000 per each count, two counts of defamation and two counts of invasion of privacy. Glass wasn't sure how much the damages sought would be increased by the addition of the new counts.
