In two weeks, Gregg Bernstein will leave his post as Baltimore City State’s Attorney. During his nearly four year tenure, he’s reorganized prosecutors into geographic units and targeted violent criminals. But, perhaps his most high-profile decisions in office were around things he decided not to do: charge police officers in the deaths of Tyrone West and Anthony Anderson, both unarmed black men who died in police custody.
He will be rejoining Zuckerman Spaeder in February, the law firm where he worked before becoming State’s Attorney. But, first, Gregg Bernstein joins Sheilah in the studio to talk about his time in office.
