‘A threat to public safety’: Staffing shortage and low morale plague Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s office

Interviews with more than two dozen current and former prosecutors from the staff of Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby reveal an office where grueling hours, large caseloads and depleted morale have driven people out. When Michael Turiello became a deputy chief in the Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office Narcotics Unit in August 2019, there were 11 prosecutors under his watch. When he left the office, and the job he loved, last October, the number of prosecutors had dwindled to seven.
