“We have to do this right. We have to prove it in a court of law,” Freeman, who is handling the George Floyd investigation in Minnesota, said Thursday. “And I will just point to you the comparison with what happened in Baltimore in the Gray case. It was a rush to charge, it was a rush to justice, and all of those people were found not guilty.”

In a statement, Mosby said her office should not be used by Hennepin Co. prosecutor to “justify his inaction” in the George Floyd case.
